Disability

After being out of work for a long period of time, but working from home, I was slated for an August 1st return. Looking forward to getting back to a daily routine and getting out of the house is definitely something I strongly desire. Unfortunately last weeks doctor appointment confirmed the way I’ve been feeling (like crap!). After discussing the results of the doctor with my superiors, it was decided that it would probably be best if I went onto disability to focus my full attention on recovery.

I am hoping for recovery, hoping to feel like myself again, rid myself of multiple medications and just go back to living my life. If only it was as easy as it sounds. I’m keeping my fingers crossed, listening to the doctors, getting ready for my next series of tests and hoping for good news. The doctor said I may need to go on oxygen as not enough may be reaching my heart or brain…having to walk around with an oxygen tank; that’s rather embarassing to me at such a young age, but if it solves problems, I’d rather deal with it and move on from the misery I’m currently stuck in.

I know the next couple of months will be rough with the testing and I’m sure I’ll get to try out all sorts of different medications (looking forward to those side effects..riiight!), but I have to try to stay positive.

Hell, with an oxygen tank, I’ll fit in even better at the casino, all I’ll be missing is the cigarette :)
