Still, at home and all is going well. I was able to go in to work today for a few hours and that felt good. My energy level is still depleting. The best way to describe how this “energy” thing is working for me is to use the analogy of a battery. I start out the day feeling pretty good and everything is in working order, but as I do more and the day moves on, I use up the power. If I take things slow and conserve my power I can get a longer lasting day. Like before, nothing particular is wrong I just feel “wrong”. So my biggest daily decision is to decide how and when I use the energy I have. This is tough for me, the past many years I have been working so hard to train my body to handle harder and longer adventures. It takes a lot more effort than you would expect to change the mentality of just “push through the pain”. I am sure I will learn to adjust better and I try to remember this is just temporary. For now, I just need to watch my power levels more often and remember to plug in every now and again (naps) to keep my battery changed.
Lastly, I get a PET Scan Friday and see Dr. H. Monday for the results. Will update the blog once we have news.
Tony, you said it yourself...the past many years you have worked hard to train your body to handle harder and longer adventures...well, it's paid off! This is the hardest and longest adventure you have to handle, and I must say my friend, you're doing an awesome job of it!! :o)
