i used to be a very energetic woman. some might say i was an over achiever. so as one can imagine, i am going nuts with this low energy level. i know its not forever, but i want to do what i want to do now! i was never a nap taker. now its one or two a day. i am turning into a slug. i used to garden, i don't have one flower.i used to cook and i am good at it ( i use a Viking) but i cannot stand on my feet very long to start and finish one meal. i am frustrated! ARRRRGGGGHÂ
