I've been disappointed that every day now seems the same--don't feel like doing anything and don't have the energy to do it if I felt like it. I walk a lot and ride the exercise bike a lot.

I visited the doctor this afternoon. He said I was doing OK and reminded me that I had major surgery, that they changed a lot of my system around, and removed body parts that had been with me since birth. He then reminded me that I was not as young as I used to be and that I should not be so anxious to be up and going strong. He said to do what I can, rest a lot, take it easy, and by the way, come back in a couple weeks. OK. I may be getting the picture--slow down, take it easy, build up your strength slowly, recognize that you are getting older, and quit whining!
