Dragging Through Radiation
There are things they tell you that you don’t fully believe. Like how radiation might make you tired. For some reason I didn’t buy the fact that it might set me down on my butt worse than the chemo did. Just not possible.
I don’t know if it’s because I’m working full-time as well, but I have noticed that I’m dog tired for two hours after my treatments. I thought it was a great thing to have them early in the morning (8:10 to be exact) so that I could have a “normal” workday. Now I’m wishing I took the 4:00 pm appointment so that I could come home and take a nap.
Everyone at the new gig knows that I’m not a morning person – which keeps some of them from scheduling meetings first thing in the morning – but very few of them truly understand how much of a struggle it is for me from 8:30 until 10:30. Like clockwork after 10:30 I’m wide awake and fully functioning. The really bad part of that is that I’m usually still awake when it’s time for me to go to bed. I’ll be glad when this is all over and done with.
