Awh, shucks, thanks girl. Thank you so much for that personalized analogy... I love your analogies.
UPDATE:
I went back to the doctor today for my two-week check up. Things have radically stablized for me... well, at least compared to where I was two or three weeks ago. And no, just because I am feeling better does NOT mean I am going to stop taking the med. he prescribed for me. I'm afraid I'd crash and burn, which, btw, is exactly what he'd said I'd do if I did stop. He's looking at four to six months before weaning me off and letting my body kick back into gear.
He also told me, which I found very interesting... that the human body, once it reaches abnormally high levels of stress... cannot 'deregulate' itself. Meaning, the stress kicks in to protect you and help you through whatever it is you are facing... but once the 'thing' is over... your body can't 're-regulate' very well. Way back before we had all these lovely meds... that crash and burn cycle would cause all kinds of mental health and physcial health issues. Left unchecked, it can get quite damaging.
Who knew.
My dad goes back for his check up on Feb. 13th, and then he's heading to another camp for Cardio Rehab. He's doing much better, and he adores my cooking.
I'm in the process of formulating a new business strategy (cause the big huge contract thing didn't work out... oh well <-- look at that nice, calm, healthy response) and I'm continuing to write my book at a more even tempo. With that, and my kids in hockey, and the ballroom dance season kicking back into high gear, I've got all on my plate I can handle...
Oh... and just to update y'all on the tax issue... my accountant doesn't think I'm going to have to pay anything (even though the attorney screwed up)... which was a major sigh of relief on my part.
And yes, Mo, I'm getting really, really good at crying. Whho knew what a blessing it is to get it out of your system and move the heck on...
