Hi Abby!  Glad you're home!  Welcome to the loser's bench!  You'll get a lot of support here, so hang out and ask questions!!!  I'm not surprised you're tired----your body has been through a lot this week.  You'll start to feel better each day.  Just remember to walk, sip, and rest!    Julia

Welcome home Abby. Tired is normal. It takes a while for your body to get over the trauma of surgery. Don't rush back to work. It was over 3 weeks before I made it through an entire day without pooping out in the middle of the day. One day at a time. You'll get there.

Abby - I didn't have great support at home at first either - as your family sees that you are OK and doing this with or without them it will get better! AND we are always here and always supportive!

My cell is 610-462-1204 and is with me 24/7 - I sleep terrible and am up early so you can call me anytime! I also don't live too far away.

Welcome home Abby.  As everyone already said, tired is normal.  I didn't feel myself until I started to eat real food again, so don't rush back to work.  You need to take care of you right now....work can take care of itself for a while.
