I am alright, I got this nasty cough out of nowhere and it has taken it out of me.

I'm doing about the same; but suddenly my arm is moving at a better range; it gives me hope. I'll be glad when this heat ends so I can enjoy outdoors once more.

If you're ok in doing so, can we take this to a thread instead? My pm box is always in danger of completely filling up after so many years on Gaia. Here's the thread where I've been chatting with friends while Babyboo is on hiatus; it's a long running thread of mine. I'm sure you have quite the story to tell.

I'm guessing you're going to see a lot of night life on your travels then. It makes sense to take advantage of the cool of the morning and then the evenings even if they're still warm. A lot of people in very hot countries sleep during the heat of the day, something to consider. I hope you're having a great time regardless. I know you're having a grand adventure!

Speaking of heat, we're in the middle of an epic heat wave here where we've had days for well over a week over 105 and topping out at 113F! Even the mornings are too warm to get out in; hitting 80 before 8 am most days. I am missing my nature walks but we only have less than a week to go before things cool off a bit. Then maybe I'll have a window of an hour or so below 80 to go nature walking again. It's been over 2 weeks as we did have one day cool enough 10 days ago but we had morning appointments so weren't free, sigh.

That's quite the change and into another high stress field. Have you also looked at other medical professions? Many are not quite so stressful and could work out very well.

I guess thank goodness for a/c in truly hot and humid seasons. Maybe use jet lag to good effect and do a lot of your touring very early in the mornings and sleep during the heat of the day? What a grand adventure you're going on!

That's a total change. What areas are you considering? It's another broad area there will never be a shortage of opportunities in, that's for sure.

Doing my best in what is shaping up to be a very hot summer with a bad fire season.

Thanks.

Ah, visiting several countries. I bet you're really looking forward to that.

What kind of professions are you considering?

Oh yes, it's 101 right now as I reply. We stayed inside today. I knew this was going to be one of those hot summers and it's panning out that way.

Pt is a slow process when it comes to a virally damaged arm; so slow it can get discouraging. It's looking like a year or more long process and I'm 7 months into it. Still, I've gone from no functionality at all to about half function and that makes life loads easier.

Oh good news! I know you were not happy with your job. Are you going on an extended vacation? What parts are you traveling to? And what next when you return, a change of profession?

Things are about the same here, still doing pt, working to get my arm fully back, going out in nature when weather and schedule permit (harder now that it's getting hot), daily life stuff.

Hi there. WB. How've you been?

Report | 03/07/2024 10:52 am

Welcome back.

About the same. Slow progress and every now and then I'm reminded by what life throws at me how much further I still need to go. Still, I've come a long ways from where I was.

I hope you can find the time; your therapist can make a big difference if she's the right one for you.

Oh very nice. I hope you have a great time and return home refreshed and energized. You'll have to tell me all about it. And yep, preparing for travel does take a lot of work and time, that's for sure.

I hope the therapy has been helping! How is your arm now?

I don't work in tax but rather do accounting for start ups. It has been a whirlwind and my stress level and anxiety is at all times high. I went to see a therapist for the first time last month cause it got so bad lol

I'm making steady progress on my arm. I ended up with a really good physical therapist. It's still months away before it's recovered though. Still I can do a lot more things now and it makes life so much easier.

Oh wow, that is truly bad stress indeed. Are you getting any down time to recover at the end of the day? I hope your therapist is also going over ways to relieve stress and anxiety while you work on the root underlying cause.

Back in June, I found out I had chicken pox as a baby that was misdiagnosed as measles. Since I thought I never had chicken pox, I didn't get vaccinated for shingles and it struck and quickly developed complications. It attacked the nerve to my left arm, effectively destroying it. It's been a very very slow road to recovery but at least at this point, the pain is fairly mild compared to the extreme agony it once was and I'm able to do physical therapy to recover my arm function.

I am thankful I am healed enough to get back into life and have been making up for lost time as much as able.

I hope you have good ways to not get too stressed during tax season. Not the most fun thing to anticipate at the start of every year, having to do all those returns for people.

Thank you for FALLing for You; I've been trying to get a copy of that for over a year now so I was quite happy to get it.

How have your holidays been going?
