I L♥VE my Life
I was kinda forced to go back to work. The day after we arrived home from Paris, I went back to work at US AIRWAYS. I am exhausted from the mental stimulation. On the 1st day, I had a panic attack on my way to the office; I had to pull over and breathe; oh, how I wished Tamy would have been with me; she always knows how to help. I had to quickly go to my "happy place" I remember bicycling with Frenchie in the hills of France; it made me smile and got me through the night. I definitely have CHEMO BRAIN, which I have been told is very common with patients; I have lost a lot of short-term memory and eyesight. Trying to remember all that I have been trained to do repeatedly for the past 6 years is not coming easy for me. Luckily US AIRWAYS is kind enough to put me through some training before getting me back on the phones with people. I worry about only working for a few weeks before I will take another medical leave when I have surgery, but I have been reassured by US AIRWAYS that they will train me again if needed when I return.
One of the things I have noticed about being back in the WORLD is how negative people can be. I don't think they even realize it. I am so grateful for my job; never before would I have said that. I have a different perspective now. When I think about where my life was a year ago and that I am alive and can go to work, it makes me happy. I get to be with Recker all day, then go for a few hours to work at night a couple days a week. I love my life !!!
