The Nana Nap Chronicles: ageed 47, Post-Op Hysterectomy

Greetings, fellow nap enthusiasts and aficionados of midlife adventures! 

Today, I unveil a tale of unexpected revelations in the realm of post-operative recovery. Buckle up, as we embark on a whimsical journey into the land of the Nana Nap, where even surgery can't dampen the spirits of this 47-year-old dynamo.

Picture this: Yours truly, fresh out of surgery, feeling about as lively as a deflated balloon, but with a spirit as resilient as a rubber chicken. 

As I recline on my couch, nursing my wounds and contemplating life's grand mysteries (like, why can't they make hospital gowns that cover your bum and with pockets?)

I stumble upon a revelation: the new happy hour isn't at a swanky bar – it's right here in my living room, snuggled up under a blanket, 13 days post-hysterectomy.

Now, let's talk about the real MVP (Most Valuable Player) of this situation – the Nana Nap. Gone are the days of wild parties and late-night shenanigans. Instead, I find myself embracing the gentle art of the midday snooze, like a pro. Forget about FOMO (Fear Of Missing Out) – 

I'm all about that JOMO (Joy Of Missing Out). Who needs crowded bars and noisy clubs when you can have the serenity of your own home and the comforting warmth of a fleece blanket ?

But wait, it gets better. Just when I thought life couldn't get any more absurdly delightful, enter stage left: my canine friend. As I settle in for my well-deserved nap, my faithful furry friend takes up residence at my feet, providing not only companionship but also some much-needed warmth (my feet are like blocks of ice).



And what's a Nana Nap without some entertainment, right? Cue my favorite podcast, featuring the one and only Stephen Fry. With his soothing voice regaling me with tales of wit and wisdom, I'm transported to a realm of pure bliss, where the only thing on the agenda is relaxation and rejuvenation.

As I drift off into dreamland, surrounded by blankets, dogs, and the dulcet tones of Stephen Fry, I can't help but marvel at the sheer absurdity of it all. 

Here I am, recovering from surgery, and yet I've never felt more alive (albeit slightly drowsy).

So here's to the Nana Nap, may your blankets be soft, your dogs be warm, and your podcasts be entertaining. 

Remember, in a world that's often chaotic and unpredictable, sometimes the best thing you can do is embrace the absurdity and take a nap. Until next time, nap on, my friends, and may your dreams be as hilarious as reality.
