This weekend we will be demolishing this shed. I suspect it’ll just need a small nudge.

Penultimate group session from the Birmingham hospital’s chronic fatigue service this morning. This is an online meet with a bunch of chronically exhausted people at 10:30am so it’s not the most sparky thing but the occupational therapist does a good job. Today was about the recovery process, though there isn’t really a recovery from chronic fatigue, more reaching an acceptance and making adjustments to the new reality which hopefully enables some small improvements. And yes, there’s grief work, though I think I’m between stage 5 (Loss of self and confusion) and stage 6 (Re-evaluation of life, roles and goals) so not too far to go to acceptance.
After my post-session nap I didn’t feel too shattered and was able to have my sister and niece visit for a bit. Tomorrow is still being kept clear for a crash though. Might not happen but best be safe.
