Guess it just takes its time...someone suggested to start knitting...what do you do to not get into the cabin fever mode?

I play video games and Marathon watch Netflix lol

Right now I have my online classes to keep busy for a while. Then it's back to tv or either sleep.

I would say rest as much as you can! It does take quite awhile to feel normal-ish again. Let people help you! My case is different because I ended up having emergency surgery for a hemorrhage 3 weeks after my laparoscopic, robotic hysterectomy. I had to have a long abdominal incision. So, in total, I was off work for about 9 weeks. This was a blessing in disguise. Sometimes you need to be "forced" to rest. My case was way out of the ordinary, but still ... keep yourself down as much as you can. I feel AWESOME now!

I spent about 4 days lounging on the couch. Was up and about for the bathroom etc but i didnt spend any time "in bed" as such other than 2 days in hospital.
