Recouping

It will be one week tomorrow that I had my hysterectomy. To be completely honest, I have felt beyond tired and the simplest activities wipe me out. I finally showered yesterday (i know gross) I felt clean and totally exhausted afterwards. I must say that I have had a more difficult time than I had anticipated. My blood pressure was real low in the hospital, my nausea was more than I could handle and for a day I could not pee. Overall, I have not allowed myself to think about my decision to end all childbearing possibilities. I am afraid that if I reflect on that yet, my strength may never return. I just make sure I get up and allow Steve to take me out of the house a little each day. Both Steve and Nate have been great. I am also grateful for all of my church friends who have brought us meals.
