Had another day of wanting to spring clean today. This plan was shattered when my eldest daughter and the grandchildren arrived bearing gifts. (Had brought lunch) I won't pretend that I didn't prefer playing with and cuddling them to doing housework, but feel I need to get my act together soon to have everything sorted before I go away for the weekend prior to surgery.
Had a bit of a siesta this afternoon, as not sleeping at night so in the day I am exhausted. Now I have finished work for the foreseeable future I am allowing myself time to have a rest if I need it and not just soldier on regardless.
Not sure if I feel more tired since diagnosis or whether I was just as tired before, but as is my way, just tried to battle through it? Either way, I recognise now that I should just go with it.
Still having dizzy spells, have had them for a good few months and collapsed at work about 3 or 4 months ago. Doctor said it was probably a virus at the time, (Don't they always?!?) but now wonder whether it was my immune system trying to fight the invader?
Am going to lunch with my very old friend tomorrow who I haven't seen since diagnosis, have spoken on the phone, so think there may be a few tears as we have a chat and a hug. Looking forward to it as haven't really let my feelings go too much since I found out and a good cry may do me good.
Hoping everyone is as well as can be and thinking of everyone who has just had or about to have surgery or treatments.
Love and hugs, Debbie. xx
Thanks Sue, I look back over the past few months and like you I remember subtle things that are probably related to the bc.
I worked nights until very recently and asked to go back to days as the nights were exhausting me!! Realise now I probably would have felt the same whatever shift pattern I had been working.
