Today - again - I accidentally drove to a medical center when I should have been going downtown.
In my defense, this time, the medical center is only ten blocks away from where I needed to be, so I only took one wrong turn. I had my turn signal on, though, to go into the parking lot before I realized I was going to the wrong appointment.
Scatterbrained lately!!
On the upside - I have realized that if I can keep a constant and steady dose of my heavy-duty anti-nausea meds as well as a constant dose of my pain meds, I actually end up having a little bit more energy. I can now go and do one main thing a day (instead of one big thing a week, or every few days). Progress!!
Let's hope that this upswing of energy sticks around for a little bit so that I can squeeze every bit of life that I can before an inevitable downturn.
But how do I take advantage of feeling more energetic without pushing too hard and, in turn, CAUSING a flare-up? I don't want to sit around and be afraid of doing things because of the possible consequences, but I don't want to run myself into the ground either. How do I enjoy certain small activities (like using stairs instead of an elevator, or going to see a live band play at a pub, etc...) without causing a downturn?
Guess I will have to find a good balance... And lots of naps. Good thing my puppy likes having naps too.
