work 5 days a week

« on: May 22, 2009, 05:52:24 AM »

Good morning all, I work every day because it served a purpose. One I need money to live and the other I don't have time to feel sorry for myself. Like most of you I do Dialysis 3 time a week in a very new center In Dahlonega, Ga. I have been a deputy for going on 40 years now. The department placed me on lite duty in the court house and its great. I live to work so I can live.

Absolutely! I do 5 days a week too and find it is very important to be out and productive in my life not just focused on dialysis and medical stuff. It is also very social for me to spend time with co workers/friends so I really actually enjoy work!! LOL Who'd have thunk it?

I know A lot of you would like to work just to get out of the house sometimes. No mater what you can do in life for some reason that's what GOD has you doing live with it.

Sounds harsh but its the only way I can rationalize my own life. I want success for everyone who sees it for themselves, feeling sorry for yourself brings nothing positive to the party. My hat goes off to you Sir,you are the type person who inspires many keep up your life.

I've tried doing more than part time. I get over-tired, and my gastroparesis starts up. I don't focus well at work when I'm puking. So I do what I can, and that helps me feel like I'm doing something to support myself, at least. I make a lot of craft stuff to sell, too. I hate feeling unproductive!

I work 5 days/week and do dialysis 5days/week. I am exhausted ALL of the time and wish I didn't have to work so much. I have plenty of cooking, cleaning, and caring for my family to keep me busy at home, but barely have time or energy to hold up that part of my life with all my work & dialysis. I constantly feel guilty about making my hubby and kids pull my fair share. I wish I didn't have to work.
