The annoying little things in life

I agree! I've lived with chronic fatigue for my entire life, so I am used to that... but the fatigue I have had the past couple of years has been so much more. And since the operation to remove the tumour, I've been at my lowest ebb for energy ever. Stuff I used to do, even when ill with cancer (like, a short walk to nearby shops) is leaving me literally staggering. I went out a week ago, and it took three days to get back on my feet after a journey I would have done a year ago and not even noticed it.

I know recovery takes time. But it is so frustrating to be limited this way. If not for my electric bicycle (which is the invention of a true genius!) I would most assuredly be trapped at home, unless I had friends to run around for me.

I believe, in time, things should return to normal, but I knew it would take months to get back to my old self, which was hardly a good place to start from anyway. But the frustration I have at the restrictions is maddening!

Yesterday I was weeding the garden, something that was an everyday task and I hit the wall energy wise, I wanted to keep going because there is so much to do but my body said we can either walk in now or crawl in in 10 minutes. Not a great choice.

That’s quite quick to return to gardening . Maybe just a few more weeks to recover your energy then do a big Autumn clear up . 

Good for trying but glad you stopped when you did .

I'm not doing anything really hard, just giving those little weeds that sit and leer at you a  quick assault with the daisy grubber. My neighbourhood is built on old gravel workings so the ground is quite stony. So getting into serious spade work is something that I haven't done since I moved here, its all tiny tools to work around the stones.

And for the last year or so I've been doing my own garden and my mothers so I'm gardening most the day.
