Hi @Former-Member How are you?
Thanks for asking.
I'm still recovering.
The General anaesthetic (from the surgery) seems to have long-lasting effects - for several days at least.
One friendly Nurse said that when she has had a General Anaesthetic (for surgery) - she is affected, dopey & non-functional for 3 to 5 days (at least).
No one ever told me that before.
This surgery turned out to be relatively simple & minor, compared to my previous 4 bowel surgeries - they were all very major.
Yet it's all had a cumulative (Built-up) effect on my body (& emotional response).
5 surgeries - especially all coming from (caused by) the one original failed surgery (massive complications every time) - Too much for a Koala to Bear....

Thanks @Smc
Which self is that (I wonder) - The Fearful/ Fatigued Exhausted Self?
Or the "Go Get Em" (Nothing is Too Hard or Too much) Self?
Maybe a Combination of the two (or more).....

Hello @Smc
Hibernating sounds good. It really is Winter today!
I'm ok thank you. I cried a river of tears last night, it was needed. My boy is in a better place today which in turn means I am too. I appreciate your message, hope you have a lovely weekend 🌷

Hi @Former-Member, if there's a camel, you must be after Egyptian coffee! 😛
Had an Egyptian friend make it for us once. It's about the same amount of coffee grounds as a regular cup, but concentrated into an espresso cup sized serve, very very sweet, grounds left in so you drink it through your teeth. It's actually really good.
