Two posts in one day

I had a bit of a lull in my "bits" because I have had my mind on a work related situation. You may have noticed that I rarely share anything that relates to work. This has always seemed a bit strange, I'm sure, and even I have thought so. My return to work is directly related to my medical story, so how can I not share it with you if I am committed to sharing everything else related to this disease.

I don't have an answer.

This past week-end, some recent events prompted me to consider the state of my employment. As mentioned before, I am not one to sit idly by when things aren't right. However, in light of the debilitating effect of stress on my physiological state, I made a promise to myself that I would choose my battles wisely. I stayed true to my promise until this week-end.

But - then today, I received the gift of hope for improvement in my day-to-day living. This gift will require sacrifice, and hard work. I have no idea what the next few months will bring as I start eliminating drugs from my system. I will also begin a new drug therapy for long term disease treatment. I am going to try and treat the symptoms instead of trying to live with the symptoms.

Thank goodness you can make and break promises to yourself and not feel guilty.

It's going to be a new year.
