Cha-Cha-Cha-Changes!

This month brings huge changes. I am beginning to venture out of my comfort zone and I thought I'd take a huge leap of faith and tackle several big issues at one time. Uncharacteristically of my usually cowardly self, I've decided I am ready for some changes. 

I've enrolled in an eight-week smoking cessation class starting next Tuesday, likewise I will also begin a volunteer position with Jewish Family Services a few hours a week. I am also changing psychiatrists at the request of my therapist who hopes we can get some better med management. And lastly, I've started driving here and there. I'm not to frightened driving around home and it feels less scary, I'm not quite ready for the freeway but I can certainly drive locally. Don't worry, I'll Facebook all of you if I'm in your neighborhood in case you want to stay off the roads!  

Whew!! That is a lot of stuff all at once, but you know, I don't think it's more than I can handle, in fact I feel pretty good about it. 

I have three-weeks left of physical therapy.  It seems to be working well and surgery for the Thoracic Outlet is likely off the table, every pun intended!!! Although I refer to them as physical terrorist, I am grateful for all their hard work which seems to be making a difference. God knows the idea of a knife to my chest is a huge motivator for working extra hard in therapy! So I think I'll let them torture me a little longer!

Overall I am holding out optimistic these big changes will bring big results. I will continue to welcome the changes, after all I am the change!!!
