I figure pride. The desire not to give up. The love of the job. Friends I’ve made, in spite of trying not to...I couldn’t help it.
And certainly the financial stability it affords us...private duty isn’t as consistently available.
But I can’t work at all if I’m dead.
Tis true, but remember, even it's a little bit of extra money, it all helps, so if you went back to private duty, you may not be able to save up for that bit of land as quickly, but it would likely mean you'd be around to enjoy it! ;o)
I went into A-Fib again on Sat. morning, and am still there. But I don't have the weakness and clammy feeling I had the last time, so I haven't called the Doctor, because I just don't want to have to be stuck in the hospital and have to do another Cardiac Version. I've had this problem for years, and the A-Fib always went away before, so I'm seeing how long it takes to go away this time. I'm on Warfarin, so I know my anti-coagulant levels are good, so there's not much of a chance of throwing a clot, so that's why I'm comfortable waiting it out. Also, I want to prove that it can be done, because I'm going to MS in a couple of weeks, then to Perdido Key for a week in Sept., and I want to know that even if I go into A-Fib while I'm either place, that it will go away on it's own. I don't want to have to go into the hospital every time.
Well, you’ll have to decide what you want to do then.
But it’s not normal to have a numb face, tremors and blurry vision just getting off work.
But you can vote...
