2nd Full-time Job

For the past few weeks, it kind of feels like I have a full-time job even though I’m out on short-term medical leave. Since I started driving again, it’s been one medical related appointment after another. Here’s a list of regular appointments for the next few months:

• Hemodialysis: three times a week for about 4 hours
• Cardiac Rehabilitation: four time a week for 1 – 1.5 hours
• Acupuncture: twice a week for about 45 minutes
• Therapist: once a week for about an hour

If you add that all up, it comes to about 20 hours per week. Then add to that a bunch of one-off appointments like at the endodontist, dentist, vascular surgeon, etc. Starting February, if I go on 3/4 time at work, I need to add in 30+ hours of work plus 8 – 9 hours of commuting per week.

For sure I need to sleep more. Can’t be waking up at 3:00 am each night for 2 – 3 hours if I’m working the next day.
