Slowing down?

Having visitors is something I've always really enjoyed, but I've suddenly realised that, at the moment, I'm getting tired more quickly than used to be the case. For a short time, as you may have gathered, I was somewhat concerned that the cause of my tiredness might be a little more sinister than I would hope. However, today, a good friend suggested that maybe I'm trying to do too much. Of course, I harumphed, furiously denying this possibility; on reflection, I think he may be right. I simply have to remember that even though I never felt seriously ill, I have had a life-threatening illness, major surgery and radiotherapy and that I can't expect to be able to do as much as I could for a while, even though I feel really fit.

So, what I need to remember is that I have to take things slowly - yes, a lot of people told me that it would take time to get back to full fitness and that I might find I'd overdo things because I felt well. Well, it turns out that this is true. So, I learned something else and will try to be sensible, even though it irritates me immensely that I need to slow down a bit for now...
