It is best if any work we do is viable long term.
Good Luck you are a battler and a trooper @Jamc but wouldnt it be nice if life didnt always need that. If we could coast a bit here and there.

@Appleblossom Thanks sometimes I whish That it was easier but maybe i would not have built up the strengh to do what i have?
Going into the 3rd week of return to work i feel more confidant but aware that it could change so easily if i do not look after myself and stay aware of myself if you know of myself
