I continue to learn about the recovery-after-surgery process. I’ve thought since coming home from the hospital, I’d have a fair amount of energy. I’m not lifting heavy items and am not doing any sorts of exercise except for slow walks and physical therapy exercises for my arm. I’ve given in to having people help me with things like clearing the dinner table, unloading the dishwasher, folding clothes, vacuuming, cleaning the litter boxes and making the bed. So how is it possible that occasionally standing up and sitting down during the day makes me so tired, I need a late-afternoon nap?
