Looking at the calender and trying not to look at the news. The cast comes off on Oct 17th which is the end of the 6th week of short term disability. If everything is ok, I'll have the following week to get used to walking and then back to work though I'll probably have physical therapy for awhile. If everything is not ok, I'm going back to work anyway. I have one week of vacation left which will have to be used for emergencies and dr appts. What with the stock market and using my savings to pay for full time aides it's downright scary. I just can't afford to stay home, pay for aides and not have any paycheck because the short term disability ran out.
Next week i have to really think about just having an aide 2x a week to get me washed and I'll just stay in bed until the night person gets here. Even with everything like it is, I know I'm alot luckier then lots of other people. But what mess.
I guess this is one of my down days.
