Reaching for the light

Beckett Gladney

I've been having a rough time lately because of serious lack of energy and tiredness. I'm told that two of the medicines I'm on can have the 'tiredness' side effect. One is a cancer-related drug which I'll be on for the next four or so years, the other is for lowering blood pressure to try to make things easier on my kidneys. I was told that probably the radiation treatments damaged my kidneys, permanently. Still trying to wrap my brain around that one.

I have been in a slump lately, both creatively and just in terms of trying to hold everything together. Things have been falling aside when they're not supposed to. I find myself distracted and forgetful, angry at myself and my constant lack of energy. I can't stand the thought of this going on indefinitely. So frustrating, so limiting.

I have managed to keep the boys and the cats fed and warm, at least. Priorities...
