Some days I have more energy than others. I have to be careful not to overdo it. I walk around my apartment. I tire very easily and feel very weak some days. Also the pain is better some days and worse others. When my asthma is acting up I feel especially weak. I've had to use my inhaler two days in a row. I hope I'm not getting a cold because when I get a cold it makes my asthma much much worse. I eat but don't have much of an appetite. I have to be careful how I bend because bending too much hurts. I just take it one day at a time. I drink lots of fluids, use metamucil and a stool softener, and try to eat more fiber. I know it takes a while to recover from colon resection.
