The Woman Who Cried “Tired”

A few days ago, I realized I’d been crazy to ever say I felt tired before. Because what I’ve experienced since Friday is something beyond tired, it’s a profound fatigue that makes me wish I’d never said I was tired — because now that’s a word I can’t use anymore to describe how I’m feeling.  I didn’t expect to feel this way.  I’ve always been able to keep going no matter how little sleep I get.  I guess I’ve just never felt so wiped out — with so much sleep! — before.

Let’s just say profoundly tired and leave it at that. Naps don’t seem to be helping. I wake up and I’m still beat. I’ve finished ten treatments. I’ve got twenty more to go. That’s a little more than four weeks worth. I guess I’m going to have to get used to being profoundly tired.
