I agree I am chronically exhausted, when I do have a bit of energy, I will do some work such as mowing the lawn and when I stop I crash.

It’s really hard to know what kinds of physical activities we can do. I was told not to ever lift anything over 10 pounds. So I try to judge what physical activities I can safely do. Also, if I go out to shop or run errands, I find I have to take it easy the next day. But I am 83 so that probably has a lot to do with it. We are all different and have to pace ourselves according to what our own bodies need. But I feel very lucky that resting for a while really works and brings some energy back and I can keep going. That wasn’t the case before my septal myectomy at Mayo Rochester almost 4 years ago.
