I was flipping back through some pictures, and I can't believe I missed this...I was looking at pictures from mine and mom's Alaska cruise last year.
And what did I see...smack in the middle of the main foyer area of the ship??
Boobs!
You can click the image to see it larger...at least I think you can. (They're mermaids - appropriate for a ship - and of course, since they are mermaids, they must be topless.)
Maybe I was still "under the influence" of drugs a bit, maybe that's why I didn't particularly notice these boobies...but I was 6 weeks out from my surgery when we went on the cruise. So, no drugs.
(I know I was definitely still TIRED and EXHAUSTED all the time...it's bad when you're with a 70-something year old, and YOU're the one who needs the nap! That was me on the cruise.) I'd get to the point in the afternoon where I just couldn't wiggle.
So, give yourself time to heal. No need to rush any longer...what did that ever accomplish anyway?
Know that it can take a year or better to get your energy back.
The upside is that now I'm much more respectful of my energy levels and much more aware of where they really are...and I'm completely unashamed if I need a nap.
