Chemo Related Fatique

Today I saw Adam, the physicians assistant in the Oncologist's office.
  • By the way I adore Adam, but the I adore just about everyone in the practice. Not only are almost all of them really nice people, they are saving my life. And yeah, if you save my life, I'll talk really nice about you for a while.
  • Adam is almost as nice as the Oncologist, Jon. Jon is the most adored and Adam is the almost most adored.

I saw Adam today and whined abut feeling so tired. And whined some more about how tired my muscles were when I did something like take a shower or vacuum the floor. Adam, in the nicest possible way, told me (and I am paraphrasing here) Chemo related fatigue is real and difficult but sitting on your butt most of the day exacerbates the fatigue. So get off your butt and take a walk.

He is obviously a worthless, no good, rain streaked irrit-monkey. A pig-bean. Hurrumph.

I did leave the office feeling better. Adam is still my almost most adored.

I personally feel like one giant PMS - bitching about everything. Even the DOCTOR didn't like me today and I don't either...

Guess what is getting to me right now is taking care of everone else and NO ONE TAKING CARE OF ME!
