I guess my main worry isn't money. I'm on temporary disability now. My main concern is losing my job. I love my job. And it took me years to find a job I liked working at again. If I don't go back to work by the 25th of July I will no longer have a job
But as I was watching a Kylie Minogue concert last night (one of my favorite singers and a breast cancer survivor) something dawned on me. I've heard a few people say they use seltzer water to get rid of the extra salvia and swallow it. If I could do that it wouldn't matter if I still had the extra spit because I could get rid of it without having to spit it out in front of children. And I could boil it down to only talking when I had to.
Hopefully I won't need to cross this bridge. It means a lot to hear some of you guys say that my time frame sounds reasonable. Hopefully a miracle will take place and I'll wake up and my mouth will be dry. The dry mouth I'm prepared to deal with. Before all of this happened I drank water like it was going out of style. At least 5 or 6 full nalgene bottles a day (which are 32oz each). No adjustment will be needed in the way of water. But...maybe if I can't go back to work I'll take that as the opprotunity to find a new niche in life. I've been teaching preschool and working in the child care field for 8 years. And I've always wanted to do hair and make up. Maybe if I can't go back to work, lose my job, and have disability I can go to beauty school.
One way or the other my life is not going to be over. I just hope a miracle happens.
