Sad day

Comment Published at 05:1905:1910 comments10 comments71 Visits71 VisitsReport

Sad day today - our rector I've been talking about died last night.   He had an aggressive bowel cancer which took him down.  On the bright side, he was reasonably well up until the last 9 weeks, so we can be thankful for that.  He leaves behind a wife and 3 adult kids, one of whom has Downs Syndrome and still lives at home.  The funeral will be on Monday afternoon.

As for me, the x-rays came out clear so now I've got an appointment with an orthopaedic surgeon, but not until the end of January.  So in the meantime I'm just doing physio and trying to get as strong as I can.  Vertigo's still there, but I'm on some medication now which seems to help quite a bit.

Still don't feel like myself totally though and I'm really thinking that I need to find a new direction in life.  I'm feeling I need to slow down a lot - but that also freaks me out cause I feel like I'm losing out on so much of my potential by doing that.  I feel like I need to achieve so much and I'm being prevented from doing so.  I just wish I knew what to do next.

My best to your Rector's family.  It will be very hard for the one child to deal with such a blow.  We have lost a dear family member to that horrid cancer.

Good that your x-rays are clear,that is such good news.  You will never lose your potential...it is still strongly in you,you are talking about redirecting your potential....maybe there is a reason you are being redirected,an opportunity you haven't seen yet.
