Another orthopedic surgeon
Well tomorrow morning I am off to see another orthopedic surgeon. This time I am 95% certain I will have a little operation. I am hoping to wait until late November for it because then I will study part time and won't feel under pressure to work regardless of how I feel. The difference will be the scholarships. Once they have finished I wont feel under any obligation to work through illness, headaches or stress.
Now I am seeing the Neuro and the Speech Therapist and doing homework. I have no time for the Shrink. But I get so much from the Shrink that I'll have to find a way to fit him into my life. Then there is Gym and the Physio. I just don't have enough time for everything, but I need to find away to manage things. I'm leaning on my family a little more for some things, but I need to find a core of strength in myself.
The there is all the guilt, stress and other yucky bits and pieces.
On a good note, Sandy has finally settled with the TAC. Because the car accident happened in SA, he wasn't covered by my insurance. He has been paid out for future illness. I have to see a money manager to put the cash away because I don't think he really grasps that its for his future. The TAC gets the $ from SA authorities. Now its time to do Nina's stuff.
One day, this will seem like a bad dream and as I say to myself, it could have been worse. I need to remember how lucky I am, I breathe in and out and can take myself to the toilet. Nina is a fairly normal 13 year old. Shit happens and unfortunately, it happened to us.
