I suppose the lack of content makes it obvious, but today has been a very bad day. I haven’t been able to sleep more than a few hours for the past few days, despite plenty of sleep meds. I’m completely exhausted, and not just because of the lack of sleep. That’s just making things worse. I can walk about 50 feet before I need to rest. My big accomplishment of the day was to turn on the TV around noon.
I assume this is all just part of the chemo withdrawal symptoms, but I don’t really know. Tomorrow I have an appointment with an oncology nurse, so perhaps I’ll learn more then.
If there’s a silver lining to this, I suppose it’s the possibility that this is the bottom of the post-chemo symptoms, and now I’ll start getting better. We’ll see.
