Nancy, I missed chat because I had a call to pick up Oliver from school as he was sick and his mother couldn't be contacted (long story) but look forward to catching up with you in chat next week.

The reason I gave up thinking about working again. So happy you're working it out.

Congrats on landing the job I'm sure everything will work out for you and in the long run your husband will be a happy man

Nancy: wonderful news. Glad, of course, that all of you are well and safe. But how terrific for you. I do know this will be perfect for you, right in your element. Keep us posted. Yahoo and toasting to you right now! Debbie

Nancy, Thanks for the update

Good luck to you in your new job. Good to hear you and Dan are okay as I was worried as you were not on the board for a while.

Julie

That is great news about the job! Dan will be okay! Please that everything is working out!

Thank you everyone -- the job is kicking my butt… it is very technical in detail and in "technology" i am struggling… but i will get it eventually ( i hope) the new boss and his wife took me out for lunch today , so NICE to be treated so well ( he wanted me to meet his wife) they are about a decade or more younger than me-- lol… but i have already learned things i didn't know … a thought occurred to me as we were visiting and EVERY story keeps coming back to the stroke… and that is sorta sad … first of all cause it all comes back to the stroke , and because it has been so all consuming of my life… and as dans spouse of course it will always be consuming… but i couldn't seem to come up with a non stroke - story … made me think.. and i actually voiced that to him and his wife , like oh wow look - i am sorry, seems to be the only life i have had for the past 3 years that i sorta forgot other aspects of life… and then there is the constant need on my part to focus on it… time to move on… and this job is definitely busy and forward direction, and the guy is a "positive" type of person…. so this won't hurt me… but it is a bit more than i can chew right now …. makes for a very full day ….. so till i can "catch up in life " i will be off for a bit… but never gone… and anyone who ever wants to talk to me can message me anytime -- debbie -sure did - (lol) nice to be cared about…. and dan is a bit more accepting about the job.. so hooray for that …!!!! so far..nancyl

Nancy: and that is exactly why my DON and Nurse Manager called me at two years post - I could have something other than stroke. Read my blog, you will get a laugh. But as we all go down this stroke recovery path, there are many forks.

Enjoy and relish in your time! Debbie

Nancy :

I am so happy for you,we all need some job or outside interaction with people to feel appreciated. Stay at mom & wife job also some days I feel is lowly appreciated, your appreciation comes when kids are succesful & happy in their life but before that only thing you get how mean you are from them lol

Nancy, I think you are ready for a new step, and who knows, maybe it is a step that will help Dan in the long run, to reach further to recover. Sometimes a 'shake-up' helps get to the next step. It sure seems to me that you have given your all for 3 years, and it may be time to get a little change up. Hoping this is a reprieve for you and a step forward for Dan to reach further.
