Earlier this morning Teresa's two daughters plus the 2.5 year old Grandchildren arrived, Teresa was to look after the kids while their parents were out house hunting. I really struggled to keep up with the level of activity and strange conversation going on, which would suggest I may not be in a position to cope with normal workplace activity - not to say that people at work behave like 2 year olds, at least not all of them ;=)
So then I went to see my Doctor (GP). I explained to Mark that I really felt close to being ready for return to work and how could I fairly quickly get my energy back. He was a bit abrupt with me, effectively said I was nuts to think I would be ready after "only" 4 weeks and should be looking at 6 weeks or more if all does not go well. I am getting the same story from other "experts", so looks like I have to adjust my expectations.
We discussed my sleep issues, he has prescribed some medication but I think I will leave it for a while and see if it resolves without medication. I also raised the question of whether to do chemo or not, he cannot offer any further insight but is available if I want to discuss any options after the next oncology visit, I am still thinking not to do chemo but instead I will keep a close look at how my body is performing.
So back to the boredom for me - sorry, feeling sorry for myself, must harden up.
Next update to this is likely next Friday after the oncology visit.
