One of the side effects of my stroke in 2013 is that I get
totally exhausted doing anything physical or mental for about 15-20 minutes.
My worst time, normally, is just after breakfast when I am "done in" and
have to rest. After a short rest I am OK. I much regret being as I am, but it has left me with a great deal of sympathy for those with conditions like ME and MS. Before, I had no idea what
total exhaustion meant.
Today, I put some plants in the garden. In the past this would have been trivial, but I was
totally exhausted and
had to rest to recover. It is very hard for others to understand.
