Okay here goes... Why do I feel so worn down? I have lost so many of the other side effects: fainting, seizures, headaches... But it has been replaced by the want to sleep all the time. I forget everyday why I am SO grumpy. Then it flashes in front of me.. I am still in radiation. I am still get blasted EVERY day. No wonder I feel like this right? Then why is it so hard? Why do I feel like a prisoner of my own body some days?
As Sean goes to work out at the gym. I am home feeling guilty about it. I feel like I am letting him down. Getting fat and letting him down. I Know this isn't the reality but, I hear the disappointment in his voice when he calls and asks if I am coming and I say no.... Maybe it is my own guilt I hear. As my tummy grows more and more out of shape I grow more tired and lazy... LAME.
I hate down days and it sounds like you are in a serious FUNK and rightly so. I know you understand the depth of your situation, but you NEED to keep reminding yourself of that and cut yourself a break... a BIG ONE.
ReplyDeleteYou are doing enough to your body right now... you can rung it through the gym/exercise ringer later.
For now put your feet up, grab a cat nap and have a snack... healthy or not ;)
Dr. Suzy's orders!
I've heard radiation is as devastating as chemo.
ReplyDeleteYou are doing well. Take heart.
My husband has just stated chemo.

I'm sure his disappointment is because he'd like your company, not that he's displeased with your body. I think you're doing the very best you can, and rest is just as important as exercise is. Be kind and gentle to yourself.
ReplyDeleteThanks ladies! I needed the encouragement. I will try to keep my mind on it that way! I am making some sweet little cakes... Maybe I will eat some!
