Quick Note

I have a blog post about my hospitalization half written, and then I realized I needed a nap.

And, that nap hasn't really ended yet. I'm resting, healing, and doing nothing. I'm fine but don't have a lot of energy so am piddling around these days. What is sucky about being home like this is all those projects you wanted to start - you don't have the energy. As soon as I go back to work, then I'll be mad I didn't start the projects.

Anyway, I'll try to finish that post soon, as I want anybody who has even the smallest possibility of getting this surgery to know what it's like.

But, one thing it's like is being tired.

See ya soon!

    Ann,

    Rest and recover! I've been eagerly checking daily to see if you'd added to your surgery story. I'm waiting to hear about the private room you thought would be nice.

    However, it's more important that you heal and recover!

    How often do you have a chance to take a nap in the middle of the day? Take it!

    I found you through a comment you left at Hyperbole and a Half and have been wrapped up in your story ever since. Thanks so much for sharing it and I hope you're healing well.

    hey sweetie - was looking for a tweet or post from you - how are you doing? are you still struggling with the fatigue? or are you feeling so awesome you've flown off to enjoy some sunshine in hawaii???? i'm hoping for the latter.... my thoughts are with you... and hoping that your recovery is going smoothly while you're growing some new liver.

    It's amazing the new definition of "tired" one discovers after a major surgery, eh? Our body sure does have a definitive way of letting us know it needs to heal -- by basically saying, "Nah, not happening." whenever we try to overdo it. Take your time. Rest. Enjoy being here in the now. :)

    Ann, The only project you should be worrying about right now is taking care of yourself. We'll all be here whenever you get to posting. Rest away.
