Time flies......

Less than one minute read time.

So it's already half way through the first cycle...gosh, how time flies! The first few days were not particularly pleasant but thankfully no sickness, although I did feel queasy. Friday and Saturday were particularly grim, my joints hurt so much, but by Sunday that had passed. Jelly legs took over, but again they seem to have only lasted a few days. Tired..yes, but not too bad. Have worked four days this week, am taking today off, but hope to work all five next week. The main problem at work, apart from germ infested kids who do not know what tissues are for, are the thirty stairs it takes to get up to the junior department, which is where I work, need a breather or too on the way up.... and once up, I stay up until hometime!!  The one side effect I am finding strange is the neuropathy, finger tips aren't too bad but my right foot feels as if it is constantly asleep!!! i have to keep feeling it to make sure it is warm as it feels so cold.

Oh well, onwards and upwards,

Kath x

  • Hi Kath,

    Gosh, you're brave to carry on working, especially with all those germ bombs running around. I wish you every strength and hope you get through the rest of it without anything too nasty dragging you down.

    Best wishes,

    KateG

    Kath, please take care of  yourself - kids, steps, germs - not a good addition to your recovery.  I know we all have to do what's best for ourselves but your body is being beaten  up and REST is your best ally.  In any event, I'm thinking of you and wish you well.  Ann
