Exhausted

[enduringplum]

I spent all morning trapped in the bathroom, suffering through my post-gallbladder woes. Fortunately that should clear up entirely in six months to a years.

When I could finally move about without fear of embarrassment I had a traumatic incident with a cockroach that resulted in a half hour of me retching, trying not to hyperventilate, and almost sobbing. I'm not scared of snakes, spiders, tarantulas, bees, or wasps, but I'm completely phobic when it comes to cockroaches. I really need to work on that.

I did get some of my errands done, but I was too exhausted and missing Miranda too much to finish, so I went to my mom's house and hung out there. Miranda was napping when I arrived, so I just laid down next to her for a little while.

I keep reminding myself that I'm not fully healed, so I'm bound to be more easily exhausted than usual, but it just seems a little extreme; I plan to mention it to the doctor during my follow-up appointment next week.

I have to admit I've never had a surgery, but I know what it is like to feel exhausted after an illness or injury (or just as a hypothyroid symptom) and I know how incredibly frustrating it can be to have such difficulty doing normal things.

I hope you are back to yourself soon!
