Light at the end of the tunnel?

Chris went back to the doctor and with a little (or a lot) promising that he won't use his arm, he will go back to work part time in 2 weeks. He can't use his left arm at all. He will still get his pay from LTD, but he will get to work for the rest of his pay...so that means a little break week to week. He will get to talk about upping his work hours in a month, when he visits the doctor again. We are preparing for company next week. Cheri and Chris should be in Tuesday or Wednesday. I think they are staying for a week. I'm looking forward to getting out of the house while they're here and doing something. This summer has been rough!!!

A moments Insanity

I have this feeling like I'm heading in the wrong direction. I just feel out of control and totally out of my mind. This could be in part due to the fact that the dog ate most of my antidepressants and I have been without them for a week. It's a possibility. I've been tossing around the idea of opening my own forum...you know something that would fill the void that not working has left me with. But I've been wishy washy about the whole thing. I mean, it's a lot of work. I would like to enjoy my hobby, not have it turn into a lot of work. But on the other hand, I want a place that I can set my own limits on what is acceptable and what is not. A place where I can be creative in any way I choose to be. And so on and so forth goes this argument in my head. I also want a ferret for some odd reason. Found one, but not getting it. I have enough to worry about in my life. Maybe when Chris goes back to work I will get one. Anyway....that is what is rambling through my mind right now. Scary place to be stuck in....eh?

Progress thus far

Chris is still out of work. He has been able to step up to therapy 2 times a week. And they are adding more exercises to his therapy. He goes back to the doctor the end of July and the doctor said they would talk about going back to work then. I think he is ready to have this behind him and get on with life. I am, it's been nice to have him home, but this holding pattern our life has been in is getting tiring.
