bnm0006 6 Posted April 27, 2016 I'm living in SD currently, but had my surgery done in MT (long story). I got released to go back home after my 1 week appointments. The drive back to SD took a lot out of me yesterday. Sitting in the car for 4.5 hours, didn't drink anything cuz I didn't want to have to stop suddenly in case something didn't like me. Got home and was just so drained after my 12 hour day (woke up at 7 got settled in home at 7. Decided on bed at 7:30.. literally 11 hours later, I feel only a little better. I could probably keep sleeping if I let my eyes close. When they say stay up on your Protein, they're not joking. I could barely hold my body up yesterday except for the pain keeping me from slouching over. Tried to stay awake enough to try some Tomato Soup for the first time, which was a hit, but was just so drained of energy I couldn't finish it. Stay up on your protein people. You literally want to crumble to the ground of you don't. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Inner Surfer Girl 12,015 Posted April 27, 2016 You are probably drained and exhausted because you: are dehydrated, malnourished, and just had surgery. I hope you got out of your car and walked every 45 minutes. I was told post-op that anyone who lived more than 30 minutes away needed to have a plan in place to stop and walk every 45 minutes due to blood clots. I am glad you are home, but yes, it is absolutely critical to follow your post-op rules and guidelines. They are for your benefit. Please take care of yourself.
