I felt slightly more grounded this day, but the fatigue is still present in empty spaces. I don’t notice it so much when engaged with patients or documentation, but during the ride home, my mind felt encumbered with a thick, warm sludge. Then, I felt fine at the gym, lifting went well, but the fatigue returned once home and distractions were less urgent. I will call to make an appointment with a physician next week at the latest and try to be seen before the end of the year.
[I learned much later that this type of fatigue and brain fog is common after quitting drinking and can persist for some time]
