Two weeks have flown by and yet crept at the same pace.
Everyone keeps asking, 'How are you?" and I tell them the truth.. 'I'm fine!' Ask me in six weeks and the answer may be different.
Oh, and the manager I mentioned that caused me to change this to invite only? She talked to my friend Kathleen about it, but hasn't said a word to me despite a few opportunities today. She thinks I did it because I'm 'talking about people at work.' Right, and I am sometimes. But just one person.
Anyway...
Going to bring knitting and my ipod with me tomorrow, since I now know it's only going to be about a two hour session. Not going to bring a movie, would take too long for it to key up and I can listen to music on my ipod while I knit. Or do some writing. Might bring the supplies to make replacement bracelets for the twins..bad gramma, haven't done that yet.
The only thing that's bothered me so far is my feet. Could be that I've lost some of the padding there and I may need new shoes.
I haven't taken advantage of any resources or other information that the nice case worker lady left with me. I'm too busy. I get support constantly from friends around me that have experience with it or just support.
What Linda (my manager) doesn't realize is that work is my support network. It keeps me busy, active and engaged in other things. If I sat at home without 'feeling sick' I'd constantly feel like I was lying and lose what stamina I have now. I am rested and healed from the surgeries, I need to be active and using my brain and body while I can.
Once my car gets the brakes done I'll be able to drive it again just in time, most likely, to be forced to stay home.
Well we'll see what happens next week after this session tomorrow. Or tomorrow for that matter! Bringing my ginger honey tea packet with me and have some ready when I get home. They'll be upping my dose of the anti-nausea medicine that I get so have to see if that works.
I'll post after I get home with an update... I'm looking forward to finishing this up and not dreading the next week.
Just a side note... Neil Diamond was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. YES! About time! For those that don't know, I listened to Neil Diamond and John Denver almost exclusively all through high school and a little beyond. I still have most of their LP's though I don't have any of them on my ipod. It's part of my growing up that helped me get through my formative years.
I only wonder what John Denver would be doing now, what his music would sound like.... still get choked up thinking about him.
So anyway...
Going to sign off and settle into bed with knitting.
