My writing has really been struggling this year. Talk about a hiatus - it's been too long really. I think I fell into a depression without realizing what was happening. It started when I had gained close to twenty pounds within a couple of months. Next came the many doctor visits for different things. Until finally the discovery of the C-word and then the subsequent surgery.
My family and friends pulled together to help me get through it. Of course it hadn't helped that I had just started working again and didn't have time to take off. I know what you're thinking so I won't even go there. I was worried about many different things and not only work.
Needless to say I was back to work in a week. It wasn't enough time but I pulled it off. I wish I could say that the surgery had fixed everything. Of course it fixed the biggest problem - it got rid of the cancer. Thank you Jesus.
It's not quite a year that I am now cancer free, and believe me, I thank God every day for that. Yet, I don't feel any better. I am still getting monitored, they are testing that my medication is adjusted accordingly yet I am still sluggish. Throw menopause into that mix and you have some combination. I go to bed tired and I wake up more tired than when I went to sleep. It honestly doesn't make any sense. I am tired of being tired.
The weight still hasn't come off. Not that I am trying much mind you. I don't have it in me to exercise so I can't even go there. I am lucky if I can make it to eight before contemplating the bed. Not fun.
I went on vacation with two of my girlfriends and had to push myself each morning just to get out of bed. Sure, we had a blast, crossed two things off of my bucket list, (another blog) and it was a fantastic time. It would have been better if I had been thirty pounds lighter and not so tired.
So now what? Find another doctor. Keep looking for what? I'm really not sure at this point.
Exhaustion is a hard battle to fight. Especially when you do not know exactly what you are fighting. It's been ongoing and uphill all the way. So, I put it in God's hands and trust that He will pull me through. And He will. He always does. All I need to do is to continue to have faith.
