New Perspective – Oct 30, 2006

October 30, 2006

After having time to process the news of the NEW Mass on my liver, I am doing much better mentally.  I realized that I didn’t anticipate having something like this to deal with so soon.  I thought I would get a BREAK for a year or so.  But I guess that is not the case or meant to be.  My real worry came with my leave situation at work.  I am in the hole with sick leave.  My mind was all over the place thinking of what I may have to go thru in January 2007 & how much time I would need to be off again.  This is the reason I was so upset & down.  If the rest of the year goes as planned, I will be out of the hole with my leave in January.  I am hopeful to have 2007 to build my leave balances again.  But regardless of the outcome, everything will work out … it always does.

To handle everything, I am coping/dealing/thinking about things in COMPARTMENTS.  In other words, allowing myself a certain amount of time to THINK ABOUT the Issue, then “putting it away” and moving on to the next task.  This method has worked for me in the past year & I plan to continue doing it.  This is the only way I can cope right now.  And why I can only handle the current day/week at a time.  It’s too hard to think in the long term.
