Wendy,
PLEASE give yourself some time! Its been a week! I was
tired much of the time for my first 6 weeks. Your body
is just demanding the rest it requires to heal. Do
yourself a favor and give in to it and sleep when you
feel the need to. I have 3 young children and know that
somethings just have to be done everyday in order to
care for them. Its a struggle, I know, but do your best
and take advantage of the time your son is at school to
nap. I felt like I was trudging through quicksand for
the first month, but it does improve. I also found that
when I got out and walked, I actually had more energy.
Its hard to find the get up and go to actually think
about taking a walk, I know, but it really does help.
Good luck to you.

Wendy,
However disheartening it may be your body has just gone through MAJOR CHANGES
and you just had your surgery 7 days ago. Don’t be so demanding on yourself
your body needs some time to heal. One thing we do when we heal is sleep and
rest. I know it must be frustrating to you but I’m sure the strength will
come. Just give yourself some time. I wish you the best. Sharon
