The title’s a nice hook to get those who didn’t read the last post to read it, right? In any case, thank you to many of you for your encouragement and congrats. I am once again waiting on the field of medicine to determine what happens next. I have not spent a full day at work for about a week and a half. The two times I went to work, I didn’t make it to lunch without both throwing up uncontrollably, getting almost motion sick and dizzy, and every time I leave the house (including today’s short excursion to the chiropractor) I have an emotional breakdown. Until I’m sure I’m going back to work, I’m not taking the antidepressants given to me for just that purpose. I’m not depressed and I don’t need them if I’m free to cry and act emotional whenever I want. Haha. I am, however, now getting nausea worse than before and just got some anti-nausea meds today.
As to my comment about not being sure about whether I go back to work or not, I had a talk with some people at work and with my doctor’s nurse and the thought is that perhaps it would better for both me (and to be honest probably also the professionalism of my job) if I went on short term disability until I get past this rough trimester (and hopefully that’s the end of it all). I’m going to miss work, believe it or not, but for those questioning me right now, this may be hard for me and I may have a tighter budget, but I’m still earning money and I feel like this is the best and safest decision for my baby. I never want to risk anything with such a fragile life. I’ve learned that.
So, any ideas from people in similar situations on keeping a healthy socially (meaning the tie to me being a social person and my “health”) safe environment? Keys– Having social interaction –being in a safe environment for come what may — doing what’s right and keeping rested
