Hello, fellow travelers!
Today I had the bloods taken for my first cancer screening, ahead of the hospital appointment with the surgical team to review my recovery, which is on the 30th of July. Generally, I am feeling positive, as I am so very much better in my internal workings following the surgery. But... I still don't feel like I am recovering as well as I should be. I am in a state where I feel like I have a permanent hangover. I am used to the considerable pain and fatigue I have been living with for most of my life - I am a rather broken stoat, alas. I just don't seem able to shake off the state that hit me when I had the scare over the oncology meds making me very seriously ill.
It is frustrating. And while my insides are much improved, they do still have their tantrums at me, and can be decidedly unreliable. I am not sure how much of this is going to improve, and how much I am now stuck with. When this is added to the fact that I am STILL battling to get the benefit help I know I qualify for, my stressed and rather depressed state is surely not helping. (The DWP have written to me, of their own accord, and told me that they owe me money as they underpaid me for a period several years ago. This gesture would be far better received if they had actually done something about giving the money to me, as they promised to do, but oddly, all has gone quiet...)
Bit of a poor me post, folks. But it helps to yell into the void.
Robin.
