I feel so tired and worn out today.

I had my surgery last Wednesday on the 16th, and today is the 21st. I am feeling so exhausted right now. I think I slept well last night. Maybe my body is just catching up.

My pain was getting better by the day but yesterday it got worse. Today I am a little in between.

I am sitting here and I can barely keep my eyes open.

I haven't been through it yet, but I think being especially tired is normal during the first couple of weeks. I think it'll resolve soon. And I hope your pain resolves soon as well.

I felt like I didn't have the energy to get off the couch and go to the bathroom for the first 2 weeks or so. I also had pneumonia so that made it worse. Around the 18 day mark I started feeling so much better and have a lot of energy now (even got on the treadmill last night while watching TV just because I felt fidgety -- I had already exercised that morning).

It WILL get better -- just rest as you need to. I don't know if you work, but I do and the company I work for has a nursing mother's room with a couch. I talked to my boss about it and started booking myself a 30 minute slot around lunch time and would go up there and crash with my phone alarm set for 30 minutes. It made a HUGE difference!

I joke with people that I've turned into quite the napper since surgery! But much less now than even 2 weeks ago.
