Well, life like nursing is always changing. In fact that is the ONE ,single thing you can count on.
I have experienced some major changes lately. Some of them I was sure I was well prepared for. And I think I am well prepared to say the least. And then comes the curveball...excuse me I am totally not a baseball person, have no clue why I would reference it in anyway. In fact I am basically a football person living in a basketball town,but I digress.
So I thought I had things pretty well under control. I sort of did.
Entering the more "self directed" time of year with regard to my fitness goals, I decided to try some new activities. This ultimately did not work out so well. So I sit at the desk now blogging away with ice on my knee,waiting for my doctor's office to call back.Instead of logging my activites completed and cleaning sweat off machines, I am sending emails containing words like "Extended Illness Bank" and the looming "Medical Leave of Absence".
AWESOME!
But it is not all gloom and doom... I will certainly not be stopped by a preliminary evaluation. Man, we nurses are so terrible as patients because we continually consider all the possible things that could be wrong. As a group I think we are a "expect the worst and hopefully be pleasantly surprised" type.
This is where attitude comes in. As nurses if we can do anything,it is keep going whatever is going on. And so it goes in our own lives .
We all face challenges every day, this just happens to be mine right now.
I would love for someone to come up with a word ...that I can't seem to do today.
Suggestions?
Patience. A hard word to follow. You will overcome whatever you have to. You have come so far to not let this get you down. Swimming is a great cardio activity. Keep your chin up my friend.
