Don't stand too close to the vent!

I reallly like to have options when it comes to making big decisions; I like to weigh, ponder, and consider them just to feel as though I've played a part in the process.  Yesterday, though, I discovered how few choices I have about my health at the moment, and it has left me angry and frustrated.

My neurosurgeon was supposed to have called me on

Oy gevalt! How completely frustrating! I'm going to be thinking good thoughts for you all the rest of the summer and the semester that the symptoms are manageable. Sheesh!

N. went back to teaching in January b/c we absolutely needed the money, and she wasn't yet recovered enough from something much more minor (a broken knee and two surgeries), and she had a horrible semester, so waiting makes sense if you can handle the symptoms.

That's one reason I keep seeing my shrink to talk about the MS stuff (which again, is not as serious); that feeling of having such a huge thing out of my control *and* controlling so much of my life (and of course I couldn't keep working) is a constant stressor. It's nice being able to vent about it regularly.
