Some fights never end...Posted on Thursday, November 27, 2008 at 2:28 PM - Post CommentIt hasn't been a good week so far. Apart from the debilitating effects of medication and I suspect, incipient anaemia, it's been a real struggle just to go to the gym and work out. On top of that, I had to go and be a hero at the tennis court. Nearly two months away and I forgot I was an F-class player. I strained something in my upper back on the left or lower shoulder. Tuesday was hell. I could hardly even stand straight or breathe deeply but I trained with light weights anyway. So if this week's photo looks old and flabby, mea culpa, I've been fighting my own mind and body like crazy. It's
one of those fights that will never end until I go to sleep for the
last time, I guess. The depression I should be used to by now but it's
still a major mental battle every day just trying to get things done
and when I look around me and see all the other things that still need
to be done, it's just too easy to give up and go hide under my bed.
Worse still when I have to fight what seems to be permanent tiredness.
It's one of the symptoms of depression, I've been told, but I can't
help wondering if it's also because I haven't been taking enough red
meat. Anaemia can do that, too, I read in the papers. Guess it's time
to change my diet a little. I just hope I don't get fat again. |
