Stamina Schmamina

Geez it's been something getting back to work.  Attempting to do part-time for the full-time job is hard as you all know.  Throw in the crazy emotions, the body still healing, anniversaries of other patients passings, and my mother still recovering - well it's been a humdinger of a couple of weeks.  I have accepted that my mind is ahead of my body.  That hasn't seemed to have changed throughout most of this challenge.  So I am doing some internal wrangling right now.  So much in my head, and I still need so much rest.  One day at a time and sometimes just one hour at a time.  I am still checking items off the list: I have gone five days without the compression top; I have gone the last two weekends without needing chemical aid to sleep; I don't swell after everytime I drive.  These are huge items to check off and they are all wonderful ones to remind myself of when some other piece to this medical puzzle kicks me around.
