Exhaustion - Monday, February 15, 2010

The cycle has begun again. This morning the achiness was better. The only problem was that I felt so tired it took the grace of God and all the discipline within me to get up off the couch. So I moved as quickly as I could, which was the speed of a turtle, and went to work. Fortunately, after about three or four hours, my energy picked up and I was actually able to finish the day without falling asleep at my desk. No matter how many times the doctors told me the effects of chemo would be cumulative, I am still shocked that only now am I feeling so much. It also seems strange that my body is dictating to me and not the other way around.
