Denise Kirchner Thanks Pat! I pushed back when my cardiologist wanted to send me back full time on October 31st. He relented and agreed to part time for the first 30 days. That way I will have 4 weeks of cardiac rehab under my belt before dealing with full time at work. If I could I would retire but we lost so much financially with Ric being underemployed for the last 9 years. I don't really have a choice🙁. But that is life......

This reminds me of the Wright Brothers. They had to rebuild their "plane" a number of times before everything was in place for "sustainable" powered flight!
Every time they flew they went through an exhaustive check of the entire craft.
The times they experienced problems were the times they 'rushed' that checkout process. Once they realized they needed to do that check and not be rushed... they achieved their goal! Great job listening to what your body is telling you Denise! We need to get some Erma Bombeck books and do some laughing! Peace and Joy!
