Addled & Grouchy

…was how I felt all week. The initial rush of being done with chemo has worn off, and I’ve still got all sorts of weird stuff flushing out of my body. I was irrationally angry all week: irritable, easily provoked. Not fun to be around.

Then this morning I woke up and felt fine again.

So weird.

I was a lot more emotional after chemo than during. I think because I was kind of physically wrung out, but hey, the battle was over, right? And it took a year for me to come back to relative normality. And I wasn’t, you know, doing anything to stop the lymphoma anymore. And that was scary.

Yeah, during chemo there was a strong sense of, “Gotta do this, gotta get through this, keep on going,” and then afterwards I just collapsed for a while.

Also I was more patient during chemo. It’s easy to want to bounce back RIGHT NOW. I’m done, right? So I should feel fine now, right?
