Hi,
Those are some long paragraphs and today I just can't do them. So I'm going off your title only. I can not work. Boy if I could count how many times I've over-done it just trying to live life. It's my crutch of denial...I feel decent and think hey I'm improving and it may not hit me immediately but later on...BAM! It's a knock out punch. Too much Monday put me down Tues and Wed. Too much Thurs put me out for 17 1/2 hours. What I've noticed is I'm not getting worse in the sense of my PCS and other issues. It just takes me time to recuperate and then I'm back where I was before over doing it. ThursDay I knew I was over doing and I knew the consequences ahead of time but it was worth it to watch parts of my daughters game, and talk to past student and parents of mine. I had a choice. I made it. Good luck to you and be good to yourself. Jace
