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.
