Cold Weather Slowing Me Down

We had planned to go to Glentunnel today to spend a few days in the caravan, but the weather is not good.  Cold weather in itself is OK, caravan is warm and well heated, but if I cannot get out and walk around I won't make progress, either physically or mentally.  The weather forecast is for snow showers, rain and windy, so we will likely try Glentunnel at the end of this week for a few days.

Progress on recovery is OK, but too slow for me.  Yesterday I went to the local library and had to climb stairs to the mezzanine floor, the climb was OK, taken slowly, but I felt quite woozy for a while.  My target recovery milestones are not being met on time, but I am not too fussed about that, all is going OK, just a bit slower than I had optimistically estimated.  An interesting issue is that I continue to lose about a Kg every 3-4 days, despite eating OK. I guess when my body has finished internal repairs that will stop, I don't want to lose too much weight as I may need it for chemotherapy.

Most mornings I feel quite out of sorts, but by afternoon I am feeling quite good, as long as I don't do too much.  Down to panadol 3 times a day now.
