The last 3 months has been pretty hardcore for my body. I've had very serious surgery (bladder removal and new one formed), a minor surgery, then another quite major surgery 2 weeks ago (connected to first).
6 weeks after first surgery I had a UTI which was then classed as sepsis, and I was in hospital for a week.
After this most recent surgery I was unfortunate enough to get c diff, so was in hospital for 2 weeks, and only escaped on Monday.
Am also anaemic - I'm told my level is 9.8 when it should be 12-15 (I had a blood transfusion during my first major surgery as lost a lot of blood), after release GP did a test and level was 8, so it is slowly going up.
I've lost a load of hair - literally handfuls coming out over a period of about 3 weeks. Much thinner now but has stopped.
Anyway, main thing is, I'm just exhausted. I know I've been through a lot and tiredness to be expected. But this last week since coming out of hospital I have been pretty much in bed. I've managed 2 showers since Monday, and 1-2 hours for the lats 3 days or so sitting in a chair before I need to go back to bed. I surf on my ipad during the day, and even that tires me out, I frequently have to put it down so I can have a nap.
House is a tip and kids are feeding themselves (crap!). They are 17 and 16. I have no partner so just the 3 of us.
When can I expect some of this fatigue to lift? Its driving me crazy.
