Treatment is over. Where did 'normal me' go?
I remember at the beginning of all this, when I was undoubtedly stronger and determined to fight and determined to be proactive in my treatment every step of the way, writing down a list of questions...

Thanks Deanne. You hit the nail on the head when you said 'the more you struggle against things rather than listening to what your body needs the longer it will take to recover". The problem was I didn't understand what my body was saying. I would go to work feeling fine thinking, "Oh I can do this". People would say how fantastic I am looking and I would think great I've got this and then unexpectantly I would crash in the afternoon. Or I would do a full day at work and then crash the next 3 days. There wasn't really a rhythm to it. But now I think I just shouldn't be back at work at all just yet. And then I should just work my way up to it. Thanks so much for the reality check and the understanding.
