I am obviously on a letter writing campaign...this is due to
what I perceive as a worsening of my condition...ok here is my
question....I have been working full time for the past 10 years after
contacting TM (obviously this was after the hospital and rehab)...I
drive more than 2 hours a day (welcome to New York City) and for the
first time I am really wondering how much longer I will be able to keep
this up...it just keeps getting harder. On the one hand if I stop
working I will have all the time in the world to think of my condition
(bad!), on the other hand work just keeps getting harder and harder both
physically and mentally(bad too!). Please don't tell me to just cut
down..that cannot work.....therefore what I have done mentally is say to
myself that if I can just work 2 more years then I can retire...only
problem is that 2 years seems like a very very long time!
I am going for a spinal MRI next week and Dr Kerr hooked me up
with an excellent Dr. in New Jersey whom I will be seeing in a couple of
weeks...so I am trying to be proactive...just not sure how much longer
my "positive attitude" will be enough to get me by!
Sorry about this I truly hate complaining when I know so many of
you are so much worse than I am!
Thanks for everything!
Rob in New Jersey
