Back to work

Fortunately, the antihistamine and paracetamol worked and by Tuesday evening the allergy had almost gone and I was feeling back to normal!

I cycled to work on Wednesday morning, thinking that it was all downhill, but it wore me out! I looked like I'd run a marathon when I got to work and I needed a hour to recover! Keith came to pick me up at lunchtime and I came home for a rest. I rested on Thursday, gradually realizing that even when I don't feel very ill, I am actually still fighting a battle internally.

Work on Friday was much better (no cycling - Keith gave me a lift in) and a chance to catch up on emails, meetings and get things organised. I'm still determined to carry on working throughout the treatment, and I had a chance to chat to Sue about possible ways to minimize disruption if I need to take time off. They are all very supportive at work, I'm very lucky to work in this kind of environment.

I had a very good weekend, lots of visitors bringing food and flowers, and a lovely walk in the woods on Sunday. I think my plan to enjoy the days when I am well is going to be a good one!

Even more good news is that my swollen glands in my groin have all gone which means I can walk and sit comfortably and I've lost a few pounds of the weight I put on in Barcelona!
