I have a few things I need to do: get in better shape, lose weight, and find a job. I had big plans for how I would tackle all these things in the new year. But. The first week of January I had a routine outpatient surgery that went well, except for the bad reaction I had to the anesthetic. Two months later, my energy levels are still very low, though improving. I can get in an hour's walk every day and keep my household functional (cooking, cleaning, laundry, etc), and that's about it. According to my surgeon, general anesthetic can wipe a person out like this, so nothing is really wrong. It's just going to take time.
So, my question is: how to stay motivated when you are stuck like this?
And then a side comment: Boy, have I learned not to take feeling normal for granted!
