Back at Work, Partly

The past week I have been at work every morning and a couple of afternoons.  I have also been doing some work from home.  All went well until Friday when I felt as if I had a virus or something.  I must admit that I had been going downhill slightly from Wednesday.  Over the weekend I slowly recovered, this morning (Monday) I was back to feeling fine.

Sunday I did my normal weekly weigh-in and found I had put on no weight for the week.  I got quite concerned at the lack of weight gain, plus the way I was not feeling great, until I looked back at my first week back at work after my first liver surgery, I lost 0.5Kg that week and struggled with fatigue as well.  So clearly my progress is quite consistent, and no worse than my earlier recovery.  However I am finding this slow rate of recovery very frustrating.  In my respects I feel quite good, I just want to get on with life and work.

I am quite proud at one big step to normality I made last week.  My oncology appointment, due tomorrow to look at progress and next steps, conflicted with an important meeting at work.  So I have deferred the oncology appointment by one week.  This is the first time in over 18 months that I have given my medical treatment a lower priority in favour of a normal working life.

This week I will continue with every morning at work, and just see how the rest of the day evolves.
