full episode
Well, I overdid the weekend. I made an entire meal for Thanksgiving dinner on Saturday. On Sunday, I made homemade ravioli for Christmas. I noticed when I was making the ravioli that I was getting weaker. Soon my right leg was dragging. My hands were both so sore from kneading dough. My right arm is useless today. I am typing like crap as usual. It is like my brain and fingers aren't connected. My right hand is stiff and sore. My arm is so sore and so is my right leg. I have pain that contracts thru each and then releases. It is miserable. Balance is bad too. I noticed yesterday that I couldn't see well. I was trying to read on DS and my emails, etc. I could not see to read. My glasses didn't really help either. I have also noticed the mistakes I am making at work. I will pull a case out and look it over and wonder what I was doing. How did I come up with the numbers I wrote in the case. I have slurred speech too as my co-worker pointed out. Ahhhh, it's a wonderful life! LOL
I have an interview on Friday for a different job in a different unit in my building. I am hopeful to get that job. It will be nice to go somewhere else where the supervisor has a spine and the co-workers won't be (I hope) as judgemental as my current ones.
Last week when I put in my grievance against my supervisor, the manager of the agency pulled one of my co-workers out. She came back in tears. I thought that was a good sign...sadly. I didn't complain about the co-worker, but there was reference to her in the complaint. The information wasn't good about her so she apparently got into a bit of trouble. I am hopeful that things will improve but I have been here too long to know that it won't do much. For the moment it made a difference, but it won't continue.

I know what you mean about typing. I have to back space a lot to correct myself. Good luck with your interview!
Jenni,
I am sorry you are going through a tough time! I obviously can relate. I can\'t believe all the work you went through for Thanksgiving! You deserve a medal for that one, and also should be able to eat whatever without anyone telling you what you can or cannot do. :( So sorry. I hope you are able to get a better job with more compassionate people. I can\'t remember if it was you or someone else, but I work from home, and the best thing about that is that I get to work when I feel good and don\'t have to when I don\'t feel good. If you are interested, let me know, and I\'ll share it with you, just don\'t want to push it onto somebody. Take care of yourself and hang in there!
((((HUGS)))))
