The first month...what's normal?

[Guest guest]

I'm going on three weeks, and while each day I feel a tiny bit

better/stronger...I'm just wondering how " normal " I am during this

first few weeks?

I'm sleeping 10-12 hours a night, a shower whups my butt energy-wise,

and I'm trying hard to get in all my water. Food is a bit of a

challenge but I can usually manage a poached egg, some soup, 1/2 a

graham cracker, a popsicle...and that's about it each day for the

past few days.

Looking forward to weeks 4-5 when I feel less like a weak kitten, and

more like the lioness I usually am.

Sorry to be a whiner...having a bit of a pity party this afternoon

(tired of being tired and tired of this draining incision).
