Exhaustion

Yesterday I woke up in the morning and was so tired I couldn't even get out of bed.  I mean I actually didn't know that a human body could be that exhausted.  I could barely even sit up.  I just cried a bit and lay back down and went to sleep.  I had to use the commode just because I didn't think I could make it all the way to the bathroom - it seems like a mamouth journey when even sitting up in bed is tricky!  I've only used it once before then, one morning when I was getting pain up my side again, and I had to get Emo to help me get it out because I could hardly move.

My rehab assistant called whilst I was still lolling in bed and I was like 'uuhhh... hallo?'  She came round to see me later in the day and was nearly in tears with her then, purely because I was so fatigued!  I wasn't sure it was socially acceptable to cry in this situation, are you allowed to cry to your rehab assistant?  Anyway she arranged my first outpatients physio appointment at the hospital.  I will have to figure out some kind of transport to get there.
