Trying to rest as much as I can still.

C cfrizz Senior Audioholic Dec 17, 2006 502 0 0 Boston, MA Jan 27, 2009 #48 Glad to hear you are on the road to recovery. LISTEN TO YOUR BODY! It will tell you when you are tired and should stop & rest...do so. It will take time probably longer than you expect it will. I was out of work for 8 weeks recovering, it took the longest time to get my energy level back up. I thought I was going to be stuck doing no more than 2 hours of activity at a time. But eventually I bounced back better than ever. Keep taking the pain meds when needed & enjoy wanting to pull your hair out when the incision starts to ITCH!!!!

j_garcia Audioholic Jedi Jul 11, 2005 32,531 0 113 Jan 28, 2009 #49 I know all about that wonderful itching, as this is not the first surgery I've had. My other scar STILL itches now and again and that was 8yrs ago. This one is in a little more common area though, so it could be more of an issue. I feel OK for a while, maybe an hour of activity or so and then I HAVE to rest. I have been getting plenty of sleep, but I still feel tired after a few hours, like falling asleep sitting on the couch tired. There's no doubt I will be back to normal, but it does feel like it is slower going than I would like. They said 2 days with no driving and it has been 5 and I still didn't feel up to it yesterday. Going to try today.

Between that, and the meds & the stress on the body just working hard to heal itself will take time. That is where all your energy is going, it's focusing on healing so there's not a whole lot left over for extra stuff. So just sit back relax & let yourself heal.
