Thankful Thursday

Good Morning to you.  Thank you so much for all your thoughts concerning my doctor appointment yesterday~it went better than I anticipated, however what I wasn't expecting was just how fatigued I felt for the remainder of the day.  You all remember the saying about two steps forward, three back; that is exactly how I felt.  All in all, I've felt relatively good; keeping myself relaxed and napping each day.  So by the time we drove to the doctor's office(30 minutes away)and then waited until I was seen, it was like my energy level tanked out and I was on empty.  I'm thankful to say the staple removal wasn't as bad as I thought.  Hubby and I had planned to make one quick stop on the way home, but choose to come home directly. I had a nice lunch and then took a two hour nap; I figured I'd be back to normal when I woke up-but I wasn't.  I had been warned about how quickly one gets tired after a surgery, now I know.  Last night we watched the last episode of one of our shows-The Mentalist.  I actually stitched too while watching.  I had a very hard time getting to sleep last night-I think my poor body just was totally exhausted.  Today I work up a bit achy and also very emotional-which is generally a sign of being tired.  So today I'm not doing a thing. I'll be on the couch shortly. We are anticipating a huge storm on Saturday; hubby is going to try a new crock pot recipe to last us through the weekend. 
I hope your day is blessed and that you have many, many reasons to be thankful.  I do!
Hugs,
Noreen

  4. Surgery takes lots out of a person so be gentle with yourself and take it easy for as long as you need to heal....

  7. Major surgery takes a toll on the body! I would plan on at least 6 weeks of being extra tired! Glad things are progressing though. You'll be in great shape by spring!

  14. It is most definitely 3 steps forward and 2 steps back so just rest up when you need to! I hope that you sleep better tonight.

  15. Yes, Noreen...major surgery takes so much more out of the body...my neighbor had a kidney transplant and she was tired for well over a year. Just rest as much as you can...your body will tell you when it's ready to resume normal activity! Just don't try to do too much! Hugs to you and Hunter! xo Jeanne and the girls

  17. Hi Noreen! I can tell you from experience that having surgery just wipes you out. I was so tired today myself, and it's been six weeks since my leg surgery (I think PT might have something to do with that!).

    Don't get down or think it's abnormal. It's not. Take good care of yourself. Not sleeping at night might be because you're not used to taking naps too. It will all come out right in the end. Accept all that TLC coming your way. You need it!
    Still praying for you my friend. So good to see a post today :)

  19. Noreen,

    As I sit and read your post this morning, I hope you are feeling much better. Women seem to think we can simply bounce back but are often times our worst enemy when it comes to recovering from anything especially surgery. I know I am still on the mend despite being told that two days is about all I would need. It's almost two weeks now, mostly because I refused to sit still. Our bodies know best however. Hoping you are feeling so much better!

    Love and Hugs ~ Kat
