Tired

What they don't warn you about in surgery is how easily you tire afterwards.  I have to take a nap after I take a shower.  Seriously, it's that bad. 

I'm supposed to walk 3/4 mile everyday this week.  I got on the elliptical machine this morning and felt pretty stable at 3/4 mile - so I just finished the mile.  Getting off the machine was hard because my leg was shaking so bad.  I pushed it too far.  Even now, two hours later, I'm still sweating and leg and hands are shaky.

The problem is I don't want to nap anymore.  I want to work, to clean, to create, to reclaim my life.  I don't want to take pain meds (I'm not in pain) that cause me to feel unfocused and cloudy.  I'm tired of being tired.  I'm tired of resting.  I want my energy back!
