Is it normal to be tired all the time after brain surgery? | Brain tumour recovery and fatigue

My doctor did warn me that after brain tumour surgery simple tasks would make me tired. Here's my experience and what I do to minimise fatigue
THINGS TO REMEMBER
After surgery you will get tired quicker
Your brain is working over time
If you don't learn to listen to your body and rest when you need to it can lead to burnout
LISTEN TO YOUR BODY
Try to accept that this is normal and that you're not lazy
Take naps
Don't feel guilty
Learn to say no
Pace yourself
Schedule designated rest days
Be patient and kind to yourself
