Tomorrow morning (Monday) I start back on a GRTW.

I’m quite nervous about it...
especially since the manager fired me several months ago and the union fought it and I was reinstated.

I will start M/W/F for 4 hours for a couple weeks... and ramp up from there.

I hope I can hide my memory deficits.

Nice smile I think I wrote about this in another thread. But having a system in your phone/paper for taking notes, helps with your memory problems.

Thanks everyone!

Well it went pretty good. A lot to remember - and so many changes.

My nervous system did get over stimulated though - plus it was a cold blustery day - by the time I got home I was a shivering mess.

And I had just completed my week of abx.... so was feeling the toxicity of that.

I’m hoping when I go back on Wednesday that I remember most of it. Made a few notes but there was so much info and procedure changes that I couldn’t write it all down -

My trainer is really nice - but she’s in a different location and the training is done remotely.. which has it challenges.

Time will tell if I get the hang of it.

That sounds great! I hope it all goes well!

Go Girlie!!!!!!!!!

So happy for you!

If the training is done remotely, it can be good to record it, if its allowed. I did that for all our remote classes at school. It was so nice to go over some of the things in a slower pace. I used the free software OBS studio for recording video.

Didn't think about that. I'd have to use video - though because a lot of the information is visual as well.

I've got to stop worrying about how I'm being perceived because that adds to the stress. I don't want anyone to know that I'm not the same as I was pre-lyme....but that just makes it all the more stressful.

You guys (and gals) are the best. Thanks so much for the thoughtful words...encouragement...it means a lot to me.

That was something I gave up quickly. I dont start with talking about my problems, but everybody that I talk a lot with in school knows about it. I see it as Im strong for being able to do what I do, with my problems.
