So Tired

How tired am I? I'm so tired that I haven't been able to blog. UG! I hate that.

I've returned to work part-time working 10 to 3 each day and have found that I am having an extremely difficult time keeping my energy level up enough to do much of anything when I return home. As soon as I get here, I instantly pass out. In fact, on Wednesday, my first day back, I got home from my 5 hour day at work and slept....for 3 HOURS! Each day, my sleeping after work has gotten less and less, but my exhaustion has not subsided.

Working has been interesting, I don't know if I've mentioned this yet, but I'm having a hard time remembering things on a regular basis. Daily I'm doing things like walking into the back room at the office only to forget what I needed. At least 3 or 4 times a day....and I'm only working 5 hour days!

I feel useless being there. I can't lift any equipment, I can't bend all the way over to pick things up off the floor, and I can't sit for super long periods of time without getting either gas pain or pain in the area of my scars. Never mind the bathroom runs. See how much YOU need to go to the bathroom, when you are on a liquid diet. Yeah, you go a lot. I also feel really bad. I want to be able to help out at work and be there 100% but I just can't do it. I don't have the ability to stay awake after working so hard, I have to ask my members to move equipment for me, as I cannot. I'm lucky that my boss is so wonderful and understanding or I would be in quite a pickle.

Maybe one day soon I'll be more complete and able to work. Let's hope that day comes sooner, rather than later.

OH, on another note, I think I've become lactose intolerant since the surgery. With that being said, I am so sorry to anyone out there who is lactose intolerant. Having never having to worry about this before I had NO idea how horrible it was to go through this process. I'm telling you, my bum has seen many better days. Sorry for the TMI.
