Shitlord is visiting my city again

 Post-infectious fatigue continues and is bothersome.

I am doing very little but dozing and a bit of reading (and a bit more of that as listening to audiobooks).

Saw my GP about the possible return of my carcinoma, and got the expected feedback that it is probably back but the hospital multidisciplinary team responsible says not to worry.  It is small, they don't know where it is in my body, and any treatment would do far more damage than just leaving it be.   Apparently even the isotopes used for locating it would be higher risk than just leaving it be.  I was even given the excuse "medicine isn't very good at small, slow-growing cancers if we can't just cut them out".

So I guess that is just part of how I am for now. 

As this fatigue may be if it keeps going, a few more weeks and I think it might start to qualify as long COVID.  Which I am not in favour of.  It is not as bad as it was in the first month, so I am hooping that means it isn't going the long COVID route but it is still proving a noticeable addition to my health burden.

And today the app I keep on my phone to warn me of just this thing, shows that Shitlord is in town - with the little travelling icon showing he got here in the last 24 hours.   Hopefully he won't be here for long enough to chance seeing him anywhere.  I am disappointed that the many venomous creatures of Australia have failed to bite him to death - what are they for?
