Going Back to Work!
Today’s weight: 128.3 lbs.
I’ve pretty much stayed the same weight wise. I’m trying to lose the weight I have gained from this past surgery. It’s hard but something that needs to be done. I got down to 125. 3 lbs a few days ago but went back up to 128 again. The weight is a bit more challenging to get off this time around and I don’t really know why. I’m thinking it might have something to do with the 5 mgs of Saphris I am on now for bi-polar disorder, either that, or my thyroid is low. I have the follow-up appointment on my thyroid on the 28th of this month. So I’ll know more then.
I’m headed back to work after being out of it since beginning of April. I’m only working from noon until 6 pm each day for maybe two weeks and then I’ll work my usual 8-5 schedule. My place of employment is giving me hell because I need a doctor’s note to return early. I’m only returning two days earlier then planned, so I don’t know what the big deal is. Anyway, I called the doctor’s office on Wednesday and then again on Thursday, of this past week. They called back and said they would fax a note to my place of employment. They haven’t yet because my director was going to let me know if and when she got it. So now I have to call tomorrow morning and see if my director received the note, if not, I have to call the doctor’s office and tell them they need to fax it over pronto! It’s just little things like this that are pissing me off.
The foot isn’t in as much pain as before, but it’s still there, the pain, I mean. I’m so so SO tired of people asking about how my foot is doing and I have to reply with the same answer as before. I’m walking on it more, my husband and i will go for a little over a mile and half walks each night around our subdivision. I’m walking okay on it, but the pain is obviously still there. I start to limp on it after awhile when the foot gets tired and I start to feel the ache. There is a large bump on the side of the inner foot that formed from scar tissue. It’s still there, but not as prominent.
I may be returning back to school this upcoming January, in 2014, to get my accreditation for working for a medical facility at the front desk, or receptionist. It will be a job with me being on my feet very little. To be honest, I’m tired of working with kids. I’m just burnt out on it. It’s a completely dead-end job and I honesty don’t get much from it. Working with 17 3-4 year old’s really wears on you. Plus I don’t think I can be on my feet as much as i could before anymore. Even the doctor told me to find a job where I’m sitting the majority of the day. So I may be returning to school come January.
Todd, my husband, and I fought about three nights ago concerning my job, possibly going back to school, and finances. I know he puts up with a lot from me. I just don’t always see it that way. But we are doing better now.
