As I sit here filling out LTD paperwork, it occurred to me that I haven't written anything here lately. I guess it brought to mind that I should really be keeping up with my day to day ups & downs on a more consistent basis. Can I just say, Thank God for spell check. These couple of sentences would be un-readable if not for spell check. And, if I use a word that makes no sense- that's just how my brain is working these days.
The Big Change- as of Sept 1, 2012, I will be working strictly part time (15 hours per week) and from home. My clients have all been reassigned to other Account Managers because am making more and more mistakes every day. In the Insurance Business- that is NOT acceptable. I understand that- it is hurting my pride, I'd be lying if I say it wasn't, but it's also a relief that they have been moved to people I know will take care of them.
Hoping and praying that the LTD coverage kicks in- we have an old school plan that should pick up when income is lost. Only a %, but that's more than nothing.
The Accounting part? No problems- our software makes it easy- I actually have no problems doing math in my head- but ask me who Martin Luther King, Jr is- and I draw a huge blank. That actually happened during my NeuroPsych testing last week. And, it's happened with insurance coverage questions- this knowledge having been in my brain for going on 30 years. It's very frustrating, but I'm slowly coming to terms with it.
My Neurologist is also changing my medication. Depending on all the tests I have to have done to make sure I'll be OK taking it. Kinda scary- but, the Copaxone is not working. New lesions after every MRI since my first in Nov 2009. EKG done- all is good there- now just have to wait on blood tests for some virus- I think the chicken pox virus- and have my 'macula' in my eyes- whatever that is tested on Thursday. The most scary part....when I take the first dose- I ahve to be monitored for 6 hours to make sure my heart rate doesn't go too low. I figure, if it's my time, it's my time. IT is what IT is. That's been my mantra the past few weeks.
I'm not even going into the pay cut- I'm truly freaking out over that. I'm a pretty budget minded person, but cutting my pay in HALF- dang. And, benefits- down the drain. That's all I can say- but, it will work out- it surely will.
I'm completely aware that I could have NO job- and be alot worse physically- and I'm trying to remember that. I really am.
And, that's all I have to say about that.
