    hi cr54,  i had my

    hi cr54,  i had my nephrectomy in january and when i initially had the op i really underestimated the tiredness or should i say total fatique!!  i slept for ireland!!  it is 5 months since my op and it seems i have taken a step backwards but what everyone has said including my doc is that it can take up to a year to get over it fully so i am trying to go with that!!  i suppose the reality is our bodies have taken quite a shock physically and mentally too and it is only natural to feel tired.  i have tried to go back walking a bit to try and build up my strength again and hopefully it will return.....thinking of you and i hope that helps....

    So much great info!

    Boy, thank you all so much for sharing your experiences!  You have given me a lot of great information!

    I guess the take-away on the fatigue issue is to take the time necessary to recover.  And not to feel badly if I can't do everything right now, because it will all get better!

    I'm so glad that I came here and asked for advice. 

    Thanks again!
