My Unplanned Sabbatical

A journey with follicular lymphoma

7 days in…

Today has been a mixed day. Like yesterday really. I think I really do need to get my head around these daily swings. It could be the new norm for a while. I can feel quite normal for a while (normal being feeling like I am badly hung over which sadly is not that unusual at times – but manageable) to feeling very, very ordinary where the only relief is to lie on my left side in the foetal position.

I cant help but wonder what this stuff is doing to my various organs and systems.  Got to believe it is doing me good!!

My day was brightened by a number of phone calls.  The first was from a great and dear friend who lives overseas who told me he will be in Australia for my birthday this year (in March) and will stay with us for a short while.  That was great news. The second was from a work colleague who always makes me laugh and by the end of it I was feeling like this may not be such a bad time to be convalescing. Although I have to admit I am ensuring my monthly targets are still be met – just in case!

I have decided to attend a breakfast get together Friday morning in the city which is run by the Australian Lymphoma socitey. I guess I get to meet other people with similar illnesses and chat and listen. Go figure, I would never have imagined that this would be even mildly appealing, but strangely it is.
