Sweetie - let yourself off the perfection hook!  You're a normal human being who just had her insides invaded, rearranged, and then sewn or glued back up.  Were you thinking you'd be instantly back to normal upon your hospital release?  Sorry my dear - you're not Super Duper Woman!  You're a person who has been through a MAJOR experience and you WILL be tired sometimes - and on some days, ALL day.  Remember this - recovery is a PROCESS - not an EVENT.  It's not a light switch either!  Sloooowly you'll recover and some days you'll be almost normal... but give it time sista!

Completely normal.  I went about 1 month where I had to take 1 or 2 naps daily and go to bed early.  Now, almost 4 months later, it is like I have more energy than I have had in 20 years!!!  Give yourself time.  You will heal.  The sleepiness is your body's cue to make you take it easy so it can regenerate while you sleep!
