The results are in...
I had my follow up with the doctor last Monday. I am cleared to return to normal activities, but still need to wait on the fighting thing. I am felling really good. I have some minor discomfort on the right side of my stomach just to the side of the belly button. I can't say it hurts, it is just a new sensation that was not there pre-surgery. I'll have to be aware of it and see if anything changes once I start doing my abdominal workouts.
I also heard from my set decorator who told me she has a phone interview today with the art director for an incoming TV pilot. If she gets this job, I will have steady work for a while, starting as soon as Monday. YAY!
On a completely different track, I am thinking about going back to school. I am looking into becoming an MRI technologist. I have 60+ credits from my last try at a degree. The volatility and unpredictability of the movie industry has me considering alternatives. Don't get me wrong, I love what I am doing. I just am concerned that I am not going to be able to get enough work to support my family. I know I am probably worrying over nothing, but in this economy, it would not hurt to have something to fall back on if the bottom falls out of the movie business. My only real concern is starting a new field in my mid 40's.
