Guest guest Posted October 2, 2003 Report Share Posted October 2, 2003 Bert, It's wonderful to hear your good news, and also to know that you were able to identify the negatives holding you back from total healing (your job), and be fortunate enough to quit. The fact that some unexpected finances came your way that enabled you to do this, and thus concentrate on a full recovery is indeed a blessing. These circumstances ever increase my awe of God's plan. Thank you for sharing this news with us, and keep yourself and your wife in good health. With hope and prayers, Heidi Heidi H. Griffeth South Carolina SC & SE Regional Rep. PAI, Intl.

Guest guest Posted October 2, 2003 Report Share Posted October 2, 2003 Thank you Heidi. I thank God and Goddess, the Universe, my cat, my wife, my family, and just generally any one who has cared for me, and given me a good thought when I needed it, that I am alive and well. As far as the job goes, it has been a legacy that unfortunately my father passed on to me, to work to care for one's family even at the expense of one's mental and physical well being. The lesson I face is the lesson of self-worth and self-respect. I can do more for my family alive rather than dead. The wrong job can be toxic, just like a bad relationship can be. I know my pancreas must have had issues that no one could determine, but working in a toxic environment and under stress undoubtedly triggered attacks. And when I returned to work, it zapped my strength, and poisoned my soul, and held back my recovery. Within a week after quiting my body was behaving better than it had in a long time. I guess the moral to the story is stress and mind-set can either positively or negatively impact any illness. And with pancreatitis, a person faces too much adversity as it is and need not dump the stress on top of it. Bad stress and pancreatitis is a dangerous combination. blessings, Bert Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
