Things may be starting to look up.

Well, I got rehired on a job I worked for 6 years. I don't know if I should be going back to work since I sent in my appeal for disability, but you can't live on just 1 income nowadays. Hubby makes pretty decent money, but everything we own was bought with the idea that we both would be working.  Needless to say, banks don't understand that you can't work anymore. So, we are gonna refinance the pickup and car and put all of our outstanding bills together to have just the one payment that HOPEFULLY we will be able to afford. I know(and so does the job) that I cannot work fulltime, but I asked them if they needed just fill in type help and they were very happy to take me back. I did love the job when I was there, but it was full time and just became too much for me, even after all the ways they tried to accomadate me. I really hope I can do it for say, maybe 2-3 days per week. I have started on some new supplements. Kinda scary because of all the warnings they give you about getting sick from natural remedies. But, I have decided that I have tried treating this stuff with the traditional methods and it hasn't done a whole lot for me, so hey, why not give the alternative meds a try. I joined the natural meds group on this website. It is very interesting. Worth checking into, I think. I haven't taken a pain med in 4-5 days. That is good for me. I have cut back from 600-800mgs  2-3 times a day, to 200 mgs 1 time a day. That is good, also. I have also tried to cut back on coffee, and soda is going to be an occasional treat instead of a couple a day(or more!). I have also lost altogether in the past 3 months....20 pounds!!! Anyway, I am soooo hoping things will get better soon. Financially as well as physically!  So, I guess that is the latest on my life these days. Hope all is good for my friends at daily strength.  Hugs to ya all! Cheryl
