[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 688652, member: 18958"] Thank you everybody, for your support. We summoned up the courage to take Dolly to the vet. We were convinced that her cancer had gone systemic. It is arthritis!!! *Or maybe an infection, too, somewhere in her body. (She has an elevated temperature. Her blood work showed inflammation and the possibility of infection.) Seven hundred dollars later she is happy today (on Tramadol, muscle relaxers, and antibiotics.) The vet took xrays of her lungs and stomach/intestines. No visible tumors. Son showed up last night. Cooperative. Says he accepts he must live in the rescue mission. He is off to social security to handle business today. *We are pretty sure that we will let him back into the house and back to work with M. M wants to graduate him to more demanding work. (M asked me if he could handle the electric saw. I said [I]NO[/I].) All in all, better. I have been little by little arranging paperwork to return to work (off nearly 3 and a half years to care for dying Mom--and then crashed myself.) Finally, submitted the package yesterday (it is a credentialling process in the medical field.) Within hours received a call. Asked about my availability. I said [I]open[/I]. June 6th? [I]No problem[/I]. There still needs to be more review by the specific facility, but.... I am afraid now. (M is worried if I can do it.) At my age, nearly 4 years off work is major. And it is demanding, intensive, physically rigorous work. Among the things that worry me are--getting up at 5am. And the commute. I am very scared driving outside of our very small city. But I worked at this location 7 years ago. And did the drive. It feels very much better to envision myself with income. It feels good to imagine myself productive and focused again, focused on something outside of myself and my home. Darkwing, I am feeling fellowship with you, here. How one can doubt oneself after a life changing event. So it seems to me to be a very different world this morning. What I do know about working is that if I do not get back there soon, I will never get back. Thank you, all. [/QUOTE]
