As you noticed there has been a slight gap in my blog for the last few days but when you can't even find the energy to sit at a computer and type...let's say it sucks! But as I said I think that each day will get better and this morning definitely is. To wake up with almost full brain power and my body not far behind feels amazing. I am so lucky that I actually get the chance to feel better for a few days...
There are some people with disabilities that never feel better. They always feel exhausted, drained and tired, I can't imagine. But there is a down side to feeling better periodically as well. If I stayed at a certain level all the time then I would adjust my life to it but since I know eventually I will feel better even for just a few days I just wait until that day arrives and wait and wait. So instead of adjusting my life so I can do a few things I just wait. Actually for a few days I really have no choice but wait, when walking is difficult.
It's interesting though. It's not just my body that is effected it's my brain as well. I don't realize it until the fog clears from my brain, like it started doing this morning and I begin to plan what I will do for the day. I especially notice it when we play cards, I don't think it's fair for Sir Raymond to take advantage of me when my brain is not in full function mode but I do think he enjoys winning so many card games in a row! LOL
Today I visit my oncologist. I will spend the morning pulling together questions for Ray and I to ask. It's great that I could get to see her so fast, I just called yesterday. I know that people say that our health system is limping along but once you are diagnosed in BC you are treated like royalty. Not once have I waited for tests, CT scans, dr. appts, surgeries...it's amazing. We will talk about the side effects that I am feeling right now and perhaps managing my pain better.
I will keep the television off this morning so that I may keep my brain focused and concentrate on the important questions that I need to ask.
May your day be filled with warm smiles, honest 'how are you doing's' and sincere 'it's great to see you's'!
