Infection

I saw my Oncologist yesterday and told him about how I've been really fatigued and tired, coughing at night etc. He ordered bloodwork, Chest X-ray, and a urinalysis. Well, everything came back just fine, except the urinalysis. As it turns out, I have a raging, urinary tract infection! I had NO traditional symptoms. I'm thinking that it's because of the menopause. In the absence of estrogen, symptoms are different. He put me on antibiotics. I'm already feeling better. I was a little nervous that maybe my cancer had come back. I'm so relieved that not only it has not, but that there is a reason for my fatigue that is treatable. Looking forward to the return of my energy levels. Yay!
Went for my first bike ride in a long while. Rode up the grade in the heat. It was good to get a workout without pounding my joints. I think I will start riding more. Also did pull-ups and stretched. Did Palgae 7 a few times. Having trouble with the transition of a low front stance to a side-kick, then knife-hand middle/down. I keep losing my balance which bugs the crap out of me. I used to have stellar balance. Yet another thing I have to work on....
