On February 28th I had surgery to remove my gall bladder.   It was a simple laproscopic surgery and I had hoped to be back to "my" normal but somewhat depressed self by now.  

I'm disappointed with how slowly I am recovering despite following all the doctors' orders.   Maybe it has to do with my age or my general not too healthy condition, but whatever is slowing my recovery is also increasing my depression.   I want to be back to "my" state of normal!  A mild case of depression is "my" normal state of being.   These past few weeks have been an exception and I don't like it one bit!  I'm sure my family hasn't enjoyed it much either. 

My husband and I get out and walk every day which is a big help to both my mental and physical health.   When I can't walk outside, I pace the floors inside to get the exercise I know I need.   In fact, I have contributed greatly to wearing out our carpet.  I'm also wearing out our recliner and watching a lot of movies.  I am enjoying the movies!  

It's great to no longer have the daily nausea associated with my failing gall bladder.  Lingering problems with healing are just as unpleasant for the time being.  Fatigue seems to be controlling my days and evenings, so I haven't been on the computer as much as I would like to be.  In my opinion fatigue and depression go hand in hand.  I've experienced that many times before without having had surgery.   On a good note, in spite of my general inactivity following surgery, I've actually lost a few pounds! 

Wish me well and I'll try not to whine too many more times.
