50 days

No news: still tired, still resting. No bleeding.

Guess physical tiredness is at least partly due to blood loss. Blood donation of half a liter may leave you feeling somewhat unfit for a week, so for 1.5 liters could I need 3 weeks?

Emotional tiredness is at least partly due to the events of the past 7 weeks - so much drama in such a short time span. For my own sake a short summary:
  • Day 1 - "pap smear score 5 means cancer"
  • Day 7 - many tests to see "if indeed I have cancer"
  • Day 14 - "it is cancer, be prepared for hysterectomy"
  • Day 23 - conisation operation
  • Day 37 - heavy bleeding
  • Day 38 - "all cancer has been removed from the cervix, no further treatments are necessary"
Though the good news by now (2 weeks after good news, 50th day since the first bad news) has sunk in, it has been a tough time going from one extreme to the other is less than 40 days..... I still feel overwhelmed.
