OK so I have been away from blogging for a while (sorry), but only because I've been weirdly too busy to face typing at the end of the day. Things have been really good and improving all the time. I think I have become stronger and definitely more resilient to fatigue. Don't get me wrong, every day I'm still hit by fatigue which limits me where I need rest breaks from activity (my legs from walking or my arms and hands from typing or basic movements)
This week I think I will do a full week in the office at work, for the first time since having Lemtrada (I had been working some days at home). Less than one month ago I was thinking I was a long way off being comfortable and able to do 5 days a week in the office. Really it's a good thing that my workload at work is increasing which leads me to realise the importance of my presence for my studies/assignments. Honestly I'm glad to be back in the game with greater visual presence which I see now is so important to get the best results for my teams and colleagues.
So in mid June I was booked and ready to go on a two week holiday in the Dominican Republic with my boyfriend. But that all changed when my BF fell off his bicycle and broke his humorous/upper arm, 5 days before we were due to fly. In the end he had surgery on the day we were meant to fly out and I went to Germany to stay with him for 1 week after he was discharged from hospital. Strange but this situation forced me into needing to be the stronger one of us for a change, haha I even had to change the bedsheets on my own (amazing how tiring getting the fitted sheet onto a king-size mattress when you are me ... so bad it makes me laugh at how quickly i'm done-in by this normally), well now i had to be like 'oh yeh i can do it , no problem', somehow the mind-set made it possible, and both me and Matt were impressed at my new-found resilience.
The good thing about Matt being the injured party this week is that now neither of us is insisting on going out :-D So we mainly spent the week watching the European Championship football games, even though England were a disappointing performance, it was fun to support Germany & Northern Ireland!
