My Unplanned Sabbatical

A journey with follicular lymphoma

Archive for the day “July 20, 2012”

Bank the day.

Today has been much better. I have been up all day. I started to detest my bedroom and being horizontal. I will
ask Petra to renew everything in that room. I hate it.

The change of environment has been pleasant. I got up and had breakfast with the girls in the kitchen before they left school which was a first since the last treatment. They were very happy to see me up and it was a great start to the day. Good energy.

I drove into the city and had a quick lunch with Petra and returned home tired but content. A quicker walk with the dog. I avoided old ladies.

I have been drug free for two days and feel better for it. I know the worst has passed and each day should be a little brighter than the day before.

I know to expect major variations during the day and to be stopped in my tracks by either bone deep fatigue, head aches, nausea or some other thing but in time these to will diminish in frequency and severity.

In football parlance it really will be taking one day at a time. So far today is a good one and I will bank it.
