But it's hard. The sick weekend is so frustrating. There are so many things I want to DO, and surprise, surprise, none of them include falling asleep in my recliner. I know I have to rest, that my body is asking for rest. I get it, I really really do. I just don't like it much.
This too shall pass, right? I already feel better today, so maybe I can get to some of the things on my massive to do list.
Maybe that's the problem. Maybe I need to adjust my expectations and give myself a break. Maybe it needs to be about priorities right now. What do I really want to do? What's really important? What will I be glad I did, and what can I let go? What makes me happy, and what just stresses me out? I think I've always had a difficult time with balance, with mixing up wants and needs. It will be good for me to think about this more.
Anyhoo, it's been a pretty typical post-chemo weekend. The neulasta shot makes my head and bones ache, but tylonel helps. I ate stuff yesterday, mostly noodles. I slept a lot. Today I hope to get out for a walk/run (heavy on the walking perhaps?).
Hang in there Sheri, enjoy your Easter with your family. Love ya.
ReplyDeleteI hope you do all the things you want to do today that make you feel happy and relaxed. I just went on a run/walk myself heavy on the walk, and it felt good. Here's to feeling better soon!
ReplyDeleteThinking of you,

I hope you get a good walk/run today. Been thinking about you.
