Arghh

 I stayed home from work today because I have a respiratory infection.  Decided to brush the dog outside in the cool air.  Walked up the steps and had one of my episodes.  Can't breathe then a panic attack.  I bargained with God.  Promised I would go out on disability.  Sounds strange I know.  It's what I know that I should do.  Financially not sure how it can happen.  My husband has been stressed with his job. Not enough money. Basically all morning I have been wallowing in this decision that I know must happen, but so indecisive and torn and scared.  For some reason the series of events helped.  God helped. He made me listen.  My hands are still shaking.  I called my benefits person at work.  I thought that I had short term disability but I wasn't sure.  Found out that I have short term and long term that pays after the 15th day out of work.  60%  She wasn't sure for how long.  Keep me strong.  I know that I should not be working not only for my benefit, my families, but also my employer and patients.  Pray for me please

Ladybug, you are in my thoughts and prayers. I left work almost 4 yrs ago on disability. It was the right decision at the right time. I know thru your prayers you will find the answer and comfort you need. Once you make the decision, many of your other stressers will lessen. Please take care, Bill
