My Unplanned Sabbatical

A journey with follicular lymphoma

Fatigue

I planned to spend this Saturday with the girls at various sporting activities as I missed last week completely.

I am feeling really fatigued this part of the month so I did not make it to Alessia and Lily netball and basketball.

As Siena was playing in the finals I watched her team play. They did well, the game was close but in the end they lost by 2. Siena was shattered.

I spent a reasonable chunk of the day sleeping and half watching the football. My football team was thumped and played terribly so I guess it was not to bad that I slept through most of it.

We had an early family dinner at a local Greek restaurant and I have now retired to bed. It’s 7.30ish and I can hear the girls watching Eurovision downstairs. Such a tragic show!

My nausea has been replaced by waves of fatigue so intense they stop me in my tracks. Incredible really, even breathing feels like it requires conscious thought.

I wanted to train today and I promised myself I would. I was sitting and thinking to myself, next ad break I will start, come on get up, get up, don’t be a sloth, get up start moving, but I couldn’t.

Very unusual.

This feeling of intense fatigue would pass only to return a couple of hours later. A bit weird and very frustrating. It hit me again at the restaurant tonight so I thought it best to get to bed early.

Lily reminded me that our dog is 2 years old tomorrow and we need to buy her a bone and have a dog party. I guess that’s what we will do tomorrow.

    Duch – rough ride… What does one say? Maybe try muster the small amounts of energy u have, to give whatever u have towards positive thinking and maybe just maybe you will buzz from some euphoric placebo uplift? Either that or switch footy teams? He he 🙂
