Where is my normal?

Today was a seven-hour medical day, but I got to meet with another doctor who had an additional way to look at pain relief.  And it works!  But I was still sick on the way home and spent the remainder of the day asleep.

I keep hoping that at least some little parts of my life will fall back into place.  Sitting at the kitchen table and painting would be a start. Wrapping presents. Mailing Christmas cards.  There's a lot I could be doing if I could just feel a tiny bit better.
