Acknowledge that these skills and traits in you will continue to serve you well tomorrow.
I really like the saying of Albert Schweitzern about friends: In everyone’s life, at some time, our inner fire goes out. It is then burst into flame by an encounter with another human being. We should all be thankful for those people who rekindle the inner spirit. I think it sounds like your friends fit this bill and will be there ensuring your inner fire stays alight.
Not sure if you have had a chance to read a blog by JanetH about helpful products for chemo side effects -I found it really helpful.
As for me, just when I think yeah this wound has finaly healed it isn't - I seem to be taking forever to heal this time. Very frustrating indeed. My week at work was also a bit of a roller coaster and I am glad I am having tomorrow off. I am hoping to get some time in the sun, fresh air and my garden.
Take care, MLE59
