Today, for the first time in weeks, I ventured out of the house. My car's registration and inspection was up for renewal, and I had a "check brake" light on, coupled with a growly sound, so I knew it would be more than just something simple.
Sure enough, a wheel bearing needing replacing. In order to cover the expense, I had to go to the bank to move money into my checking account, something I couldn't do online. I relished the thought of getting out.
Kiel drove, and I sank back into the passenger seat. It took a massive amount of energy just to get into the car. The bank is less than a five minute drive, and there was no one in line ahead of me! I was there less than ten minutes, and Kiel drove me right home. It felt so good to be out and about - see people and activity and scenery.
It did drain my strength though. Energy supplies change depending on the day in the cycle of chemo, the state of my immune system, and the strength of the side effects of the day's medicines. Too bad I don't have a reserve account for energy! Wouldn't it be nice to move a bit of strength into my "body checking account" and have a bit extra to add to the mix!
