Title: Formulating a plan
Post by Bond007 on Apr 27^th, 2007, 10:09am

As some of you know, I lost my job 4 weeks ago due to my chronic condition and I've recently had a dual occipital nerve block. So far, I've had a 70% improvement in my HA's. Thanks for all the support so far gang! Everyone really has been wonderful during this trying time.

Jacki, my loving and exceptionally supportive wife, has been encouraging me to take the summer to rethink my life and perhaps find a new path to follow. I'm slowly coming around to her way of thinking.

There's an extremely HIGH possibility that this upcoming fall, I'll be going back to school to acquire another bachelors or perhaps even a masters degree. While I haven't yet settled on a career path yet, I've been considering medicine, nursing, and education. Fortuantely, I've got time on my side, so I'm not going to rush into anything just yet.

First things first, though. I've got to get this damn CH under some better degree of control. The next 4 months should do just fine.

Have a great Friday all! I'm definitely going to try!!! ;;D

The medical field! I am particularily fond of the idea of becoming a phlebotomist myself... not because I love blood, or gore, or even poking people with long needles.......I just like the word......and I think Dracula is cool........."blaaaaaugh! I vant to zuck your blooddd!"....I mean, really, isn't THAT cool?
OK, seriously,
Bond, I'm hoping this is the beginning of a really nice long PF time for you, and I think the Medical profession would be marvelous. Nowadays, there are soo many posotions in the med field, I'm certain there is a great careeer there! My mom, who is currently hospitalized, is in awe over a male nurse who is caring for her. She says he is the MOST compassionate person she has ever met. Anywhooo, there's soo much to choose from........
make your plan, then follow it to fruition....and
TO HELL WITH THE BEAST!

PF!

Everyone I have ever met with CH....and that is quite a lot of people.... has that same attitude Bond. It must be one of the few perks of this condition of ours.

Good for you and please give that wife of yours a group hug from all of us. Please?

Linda

You don't like Chocolate Helen? Tell me I read that wrong. :o

Sounds great to me.

The more clusterheads in medicine, the better and my boomer group is going to need a lot of them.

Hope you can keep the beast on the run.

Good attitude. http://smileys.sur-la-toile.com/repository/Respect/bravo-encouragements-994.gif?SSImageQuality=Full

Phlebo's are needed as are almost any other medical discipline. The shortage is sad and the security of a job in the medical field is great.

Good choice! Good luck.

Note to self: Lobby all legislators to enact a law barring the import of vegemite into the US so Helen can keep the bloody shit for herself.

WOW!!!

Y'all are simply wonderful! I'm truly psyched about my future possibilities. This damn beast is certainly NOT going to get in my way!

P.S. And, I hug Jacki every day for her support. I gave her an extra big, bear hug today, though from y'all! ;;D

I heard that Vegemite is actually a WMD.

Vegemite is the Aussie version of Marmite which I adore and chocolate? EWWWWWW!

I'm not a lover of chocolate and never have been. I'd sooner chew on Jeff's sock :o
