SORRY been MIA... MANY reasons...LONG
Well first and formost, I have missed you all and so much of what has been going on along your journies! I hope that many of us are feeling better and that things are becoming a bit smoother along our journies, as well, I know that MANY of us have had some serious things occur and that it will take time to find the peace and smoother road ahead- I am continuing my prayers for you!!!!
I have been working like CRAZY- I am glad that I have a JOB, but I have been so busy, it is unreal! I volunterred my interest in becoming a regional trainer for orientation, I was offered the postion and began training for that!!! I was excited, then I am told that I am up for training classes that begun the same week as the other training for my certification in ASSISTANTs classes, so I have been doing that, too- along with my regularly scheduled shifts at my home store- the other 2 trainings occur at another store/site! I am happy to say the first claases are finished and I am in a rotation for regionally training orientations, and that is on its way! I have one more scheduled week of classes for my Assistants and then it should be graduation nad certificiation- WOOHOO!!! Along with this it is now NATIONAL UNTHINK KFC time!!!!
Along with this, I have had some SEVERE DEPRESSION issues going on!! It has been so hard to stay focused and just move forward, and not feel like I am not worthy and put it all off!!! Those thoughts have crept up SOOO many times, but I have continued to march forward!!!
I made a drs. appt- she has taken me off the meds that I was on and we are doing a followup on the 23rd to do a yearly pap, mammogram and physical and talk about being put on something else... so that is all in the future- she also thinks that I have been having some issues that have been going on due to scar tissue- I thought that I had another hernia, but she has ruled that out- that being said, my surgeon does not perform bariatrics any longer- I LOVE HIM- but she doesn't wish for me to follow up with him, she feels like I would be better off going with DR. MATTAR @ Clarian or DR. HUSE @ St. Vincent- ok, I/we have contacted Clarian and they have not been so kind as to want me to transfer there, it is still up in the air- so that too is awaititng- and finally, I had a plate and 10 pins put in my upper arm about 6 years ago from a fall in my house - I have had some pain and discomfort and loss of mobility in my arm here lately and she has put me in touch with ORTH INDY where I will be seen the first part of May to talk about going back in and removing the hardware- that scares me, when I had it done the 1st time, I was out of commission for nearly 7 months, I had radial nerve palsy and could only raise my wrist and such with the use of a brace, so on- so all of this, and my eyes, that I still have troubles with also are making me so worried, scared etc, my job, abilities too go back quickly, my well being, etc- I just feel like I am FALLING APART and that I wanted to be healthy and enjoy my time! I know that my meds are playing a BIG part of this, so I try to overlook most and do a day at a time, an hour at a time, etc- but that makes for some VERY long days!!!
Anyway, if you have gotten this far, thanks for stopping by, caring and reading!
I do miss you all and hope those that are needing extra hugz, prayers and support are doing better! I think of you ELLEN, Linda, daily and hope that you are doing better and able to find an extra lil bit of peace daily, I know that it is tough and will take time, but I am adding my thoughts and prayers for you and many others on here as well!
Sorry for the long rant of sorts, just needing to get it out, i guess!
Huge Hugz to all my OH family/friends- love ya!
