This whole leukemia thing can get in the way sometimes. This last week Leuk did his thing and I had to lay down. I’d had a great day with my grandson, but the next day I felt tired. Not just tired, but a kind of weak tired. So, although our grandson was staying for two days, I wasn’t available for him as much as I wanted on the second day.

I’ve had to learn to accept my CLL and not let the down days get to me. I hope this episode will remind you that when you need rest, do it. Don’t feel guilty or that you’re letting someone down.

Your loved ones understand.
