Fatigue and energy level

 I'm getting into the new routine. It was bad enough spending nearly six days in the hospital (and having to do that four more times) but then having to get to the clinic THE DAY AFTER my stay in the hospital for the whole day was so hard. They found at the first blood draw that my potassium was low (risk of heart attack) so I had to get a 2 hour infusion of potassium. Okay, but it took 2 hours to get the appointment so I was there with the ever patient Julie from 11:00 to 5:30.

Today I had to go again, every Monday and Thursday! But this time my potassium was normal and I got to leave the clinic at noon. That's the shortest time I think I have ever been there. It only cost $2 for parking!

When asked to rate my fatigue on the usual 1 to 10 scale, I gave it a 6. At this minute I have a bit more energy (or I wouldn't be typing this) and feel like it is a 3. But it obviously is very up and down. There is no way to plan unless it is consistent for a day or two, I think. 

Eating is still a problem but if I have fewer horse pills to dread taking, that helps. 

I have canceled so many things because I just don't know if I can get up off the couch. Meanwhile, the great weather and lightening of Covid restrictions are leading most of my friends to small outdoor trips to see the flowers. That's hard, being stuck at my house, but what can I do? I can't do what I can't do, and with increased restrictions for being immuno-compromised, I have to be careful.
