It's very challenging to actually rest the way you're supposed to rest after a surgery like this! I'm feeling ok, I'm a little sore, I'm doing my best to not do things. My partner is staying with me to take care of pretty much everything (I can't lift things, I'm not supposed to do repetitive motions, I can't do housework, I can't pick up the cats, etc etc) for the foreseeable future. I can walk around the block and then I have to sit down because that's as much energy as I have. I feel like I'm being powered by a watch battery. Not enough power for this body! But I know it'll get better as time goes on. I'm getting a lot of great recliner time in, and I'm thinking about watching all of "Legends of Tomorrow." I took a week off of work for medical leave but I have been doing some work (it's very boring to just sit). Recovery is hard!
