Emotional
I am just 2 weeks post op, just arrived home yesterday and all of a sudden I feel really down and unsettled. I don't know if its from a lack of calories or if our life is getting back to normal. Its a really weird feeling. Tomorrow my husband goes back to work and the daughter goes to school. I drop the daughter off at school, pick her up 5 1/2 hrs later and take her to skating. I feel like I don't have a day at all. I guess the focus has been on me for the past 2 weeks and now its back to the grindstone.
I am eating. Not much protein at this point. Will start adding in tomorrow as per doctors orders. Living on liquids and puree for 2 weeks really takes the steam out of me. I would guess maybe only 500 calories a day. I work hard at getting in lots of fluids and started taking vitamin today. I am going to have fish tomorrow which has good nutrients in it for me and hoping maybe it will help me too.
The hubby is getting a little testy too...but maybe its really me thats feeling down. I really should be happy to be home, sleeping in my own bed and finally being able to have a hot bath...showers just don't cut it.
I should be swinging from the chandalier...I had my surgery 4 years earlier than I expected, I am home - complication free, a good family and nice home, but something is missing. Am I loosing it?
Anyone else experience this or have any suggestions?
