 Ok, so I don't know what this feeling is, but I feel like I want to crawl out of my skin, I can't get comfortable I want to keep moving, but I feel kind of weak and sleepy so when I try it knocks me out fast. My heads kinda fuzzy and I keep having hot flashes. 

Has anyone every felt this way post surgery? Am I a freak? LOL

I had hot flashes and then cold chills alternating for almost two weeks after surgery.  Made me feel bleh!  Also was weak and mentally couldn't focus real well.  Walk, sip, REST, repeat.  You aren't a freak... this is normal!  Every day should get a little better.

You're not a freak!  I felt exactly the same way my first week! I am two weeks and three days post-op today... I still get the hot flashes every now and again but they are not as often as they were the first week. You're energy slowly comes back but don't try and do too much at one time. I made that mistake last Wednesday... I had a three day convention that I was supposed to attend. I made it throught the first day but I think 6 hours of standing/walking took a lot out of me and I wan unable to make it the last two days.  Just take it a day at a time and things will start coming back to normal slowly.  I know it can be frustrating... it still is but I have to keep reminding myself that I just had a major surgery.  I hope this helps!

Keep up the good work... it's so worth it!!!
