Dr.s Appt. & changes

So I had my 4 month follow up last week...

Doing well, doing slowly, doing, doing, doing. Doc extended my leave until Aug.2010. This hip business is taking much longer then I believe we both anticipated. I will have to have a RTHR in 5-10 yrs. Urgh! I don't even want to think of that. However, good news! That surgery will be 1000x easier since I haven't had any previous surgeries, but I'm starting to get arthritis in the joint & I can feel it.

I realized that I will not be able to return to any sort of work that I have been doing. On my feet for long hours, walking a lot, standing, stooping etc. I spoke with my work today & will be giving my notice and filling out paperwork to finalize everything. It's bittersweet. I've been at the Co-op for over a decade.

I made so many close friends which are more of an extended family. sigh! sadness! I've had the opportunity to get my Herbal Apprenticeship Certificate, travel the country, meet like minded people ( it's going to be strange, being in the "real" world), study with the best Herbalist in the country, being part of a strong community that value our Local, Organic Farmers, Natural food & alternative healing & the list goes on & on. I can't say enough good things about my job & the Co-op. I will miss everyone & I hope they will make the excuse to come & visit me. My house is always open to anyone that would like to visit So.Calif.


This gives me the opportunity to work on other projects that I really want to get started on. Just to name a few... I would like to start my on-line Vintage & body care line of natural products. ( Thank you, again to the Co-op. I learned how to make these beautiful treasures through my apprenticeship, classes etc.)

This women needs & wants to create... beauty, fun, inspiration & experience for other like minded mavens of the world that love being a women & likes to express her individuality like she knows best.
