TAH Entertaining after hysterectomy can be tiring

Yesterday, two friends from work came over to visit (my first visit since my surgery 25 days ago - they know I like privacy to recuperate). They asked on Wednesday if they could come, I said yes, they stayed an hour, we laughed a little, they brought me up-to-date on work gossip (and brownies and homemade mac & cheese ).. My husband provided a small cheese and cracker tray (I didn't even ask him - I really love the guy!) After they left, I was exhausted...and I didn't do anything but sit and talk and listen! I am so glad I didn't let anyone come visit before this, I probably would have fallen asleep on them. Just goes to show that no matter how I think I feel, my body knows best, and what I need to do is little things between resting. An hour visit..fine, if followed by a nap. Running the marathon (or doing housework, they're about the same thing right now) - nope. But it's getting better, and I do believe I am finally on the other side of the hurdle. If I keep taking it easy and don't push it, I'm pretty sure I'm going to be fine. Yea!

Yep, you are going to be fine

It's something how our healing bodies let us know who's the boss. In glad that you enjoyed your time with your friends. Continue to listen to your body.

By the way, that was really sweet of your DH.

I wish you continued success in your recovery.

Lots of (((HUGS))) to you
