Just going stir crazy

[going2servive 36]

I am 14 days post op and tried to ride my bike today and was still to soar to ride. I am going stir crazy taking it easy. I was an active person before surgery and now I am feeling stuck and held down.

I know, me too. I am 3 weeks post-op and I have to go slower then I used to but everyday I feel stronger. I don't feel bad just don't have the energy. Also, I usually take a short nap in the afternoon or I have to go to bed by 7:00 PM. That's how tired I am.

@@Beni, I am going to bed at 7pm too. But I wake up ready to start my day a 3am and then I'm ready for bed again at 6am. I know with time I will find my new normal, just wishing for some instant gratification.

Lol. Me too. My sleep schedule is so messed up. Last night actually was not too bad. I delayed my nap until late afternoon and forced myself to stay up until 10:00 PM. I only woke up once at 2:00 AM but after a little TV in bed I managed to fall asleep and woke up at 6:00AM. I can live with that. But most days my night's sleep is 6 hours max and fractured. I think I'll have to find a routine and stick to it to reset my clock.

I'm 5 weeks out and still a little sore, however I go to the gym mon, wed, and friday and then do the stationary bike on tues and thurs. I've been going stir crazy as well, but now getting out more. It might wear my out faster, but its glorious knowing im looking and feeling better. theres a light at the end of the tunnel!
