Hi Kat. I was retired at the time of my transplant so returning to the workplace wasn’t on my radar. I remember thinking around the 6 month point that if I were working full time it would have been a challenge because of the fatigue at the end of the day. I’d feel like a puppy with bursts of energy. Then I’d overdo because I felt so amazingly healthy. Paid for it the next couple of days with fatigue…two steps forward, three back. This takes time to recover…not a race, it’s a marathon. But don’t go canceling plans for that March retreat to hastily.
Perhaps if you’re feeling up to the challenge in 6 months you can start working from home?
You’re right, bone marrow transplants aren’t for sissies. 😉 But you’re doing great and have the right stuff to keep pushing forward! You’ll feel like Wonder Woman when you’re past the worst of this. The first 2 months were the most difficult. You’re moving right along, so hang in there!
