Journal entry by Manju Abraham

so much to be thankful for, this year! and I was so sure I was back to normal, with my energy restored mostly. Thanksgiving day was great, with Reshma also with us. It was a joyous day, though tiring and I was back! 
By evening though, i was wilting and my energy had zapped out. The next day, I tried to regain the energy and rested. But, by now, I was in severe pain  like on the days after surgery, around the wound and the seroma . We were waiting for those to heal fully. I couldn't move my hands and the mobility which I had regained was not there anymore. 
Not sure what triggered this, but I hope it reduces soon and I get my energy back. 
I need to be able to move my hands well and stretch it over my head when the measurements for the radiation are taken. this was postponed to the 9th. The swelling has to subside to allow for the scan to get mm level precision for the radiation. I hope it gets better this week. Continuing with physiotherapy and the pain is starting to reduce.
I can see that these days when I get a bit ahead of myself, my body has her way of reminding me, none too gently, to stop pushing her :-) It is not an easy lesson, mind you.  It is just a temporary thing, I am sure, Lol!
