Sunday Afternoon

Hi Everybody,I am trying to stay current with what is all going on.  I forgot to mention that I was sick last week, and still am.  My daughter got a sore throat from her friend, and then I got it, but it hit me very hard, and has turned into sinus problems, and ear imbalance.  I went to the doctor right away on Wednesday, and she said I did not have an infection at that time, but that I was run down.  She told me that I was still run down from the radiation, and that it takes six weeks to recover.  It had only been three weeks for me.I had it in my head that it only takes two weeks for some reason, and really didn't think I was being affected.  But now I have been so tired after fighting off this cold thing, and of course the stress too.  It is frustrating that I can't get to doing all the things I want to do right away.So, Dodi, and whomever else is going through chemo, and radiation, make sure you account for the weeks when you are done, and give yourself lots of time to recover!  You might think you are doing well, but your body has been under quite a bit of stress.  I guess being 50 makes it harder to bounce back too, but now I know.  It's so hard to give things time.  But when I feel this tired, I know that my body is telling me something!
