A little afraid Mood
Wednesday, July 22, 2009
I go back to the cardi on 7/31 and he'll determine if I go back to work on the following Monday.  I may go back on light duty or full time; don't know which.  Either way, I'm a little afraid.  I used to be pretty good at what I do, but what if I can't cut it?  What if I can't take the stress?  What if I 'wig out' at work and have to go home?  What if I worry about one more thing that is in a future over which I have not control???? (that's me slapping myself)  I know it's foolish to worry about the future, and I have really been trying to live in the moment, especailly since I got sick.  Just got to get hold of myself.

    what if? It's just a question. You have already gone through hell and came out the other side on top. If you were pretty good at what you did I'm sure that you still are. It can't be more stressful the a heart attack. Whichever you go back to (light duty or full time I'm sure you will do great. I'm proud of you so just hang in there.

    Hey Rich,
    Thank you, thank you, thank you! I never looked at it like that: it can't be more stressful than a heart attack. You're so right.
