And Then It Hit Me

Recovery is like early menopause ...
(Or at least how I think it would feel) I don’t know about you, but during my recovery especially the beginning my internal thermometer was extremely off. I was always scorching hot. I’d have to put the temperature all the way down to stay cool and not sweat through the bed sheets. My family would come in to visit me at the rehab facility and have layers of clothes on, sometimes even coats and mittens.
I used to be someone whose internal temperate was always cold. Now I feel like I’m the opposite. When your body has gone through extreme trauma it throws it off. The body is working vigorously to heal.
This crazy changing weather made me think about this. The weather has been all over the place, but then again so was I during recovery, haha!
Did you experience this during recovery?
