A horrible 'getting up process' and wait for meds. Sometimes I just miss my mornings deadfully and with such sorrow.
Now I am moving into better time and have a coffee. I have also gained a day, I thought all day yesterday that it was Thursday. I got through things yesterday that I wanted done by Friday so feel I got a little ahead of myself. I am also liking the extra day.
I have been assessing the last three Chemo rounds as a whole. October complicated things with so many events, it is a matter of determining what I think is recoverable from that and what is a decline in ability and activity. For there what adjustments and adaptions need to be made.
A clear pattern is that the long covid crash days are more intense and I am faring less well getting back on feet after these. Partly this is due to such a low baseline after such a continuous long time of being off my feet. The other part is that I am finding some things harder and so longer to recover from. I can identify some energy savings that could be made and accepting that I need more support in some areas consistently. This is starting to sound like a performance review. Also under review is my back and the nausea.
I find it useful to think out loud on this blog.
Time has ticked on and I have sorted some thoughts, had a browse around for practical and nice things. I am properly awake, meds are providing a good degree of relief. I am sitting very comfy.
I hope you have a good day for you.
