Today is Tuesday, September 2nd. One week ago at this time, I was just getting out of surgery. I've made a ton of progress in a very short time. I'm finally sleeping (thank you Benadryl!) and my walks are getting longer every day. Still don't have much of an appetite (weight is down to about 154 lbs.) and my energy comes and goes. More ups than downs at this point.
I remember when I was in college (or shortly thereafter), I would have KILLED for a few months in which I could lay around and do nothing. Amazing how things change. It's only seven days after surgery, and I'm already getting a little "cabin fever". I'm not healthy enough to do many physical things, the medications have made me a bit "mentally fuzzy" so crossword and Sudoku puzzles are out of the question, and to make things even worse, Sarah McLachlan is on the radio and I can't find the remote. She must be an acquired taste...
I have been told by numerous people that I would just have to learn to let the healing process take its course. I know they are right, but I can tell that this will take some getting used to...
Have a great day everyone.
Jason

"Cabin Boy" has "Cabin Fever". As Alanis Morissette so aptly put it......"Isn't it Ironic".
Hang in there! I'm sure it'll get better.

I am SO glad to hear you're sleeping. There's nothing worse than being tired and not being able to fall asleep. Glad to get good news every day!! Kris
Jason, It's great to hear you are doing better. Sleep deprivation is mentally challenging. I've been there five times with five babies. Try and be patient it's only been a week.
