In Control of my Reality

No excuses for not writing. I was busy with my new field of work.  Getting a completely distinct assignment in Histology and Pathology Coding required a lot of research and studies. I needed a half year nourishing my brain cells with those
ICD Codes.

Recuperating from a chronic lung illness, I was into procrastinating things in the past. It took eight (8!) months before my health worsened. I was complaining to my house doctor that there is something wrong in me, steadily losing my endurance and vitality from March to November 2018! Lucky am I, that the damages are reversible. Hopefully.  The treatment for a chronich pneumonia is high dose of cortison to be taken for eight (8!) weeks. So in my case.

Lucky eight, as Feng Shui defines. Hopefully, it applies also to my case. Eight months of suffering until the right diagnosis is found, and eight weeks of high- dose cortison treatment. Mid January 2019 will be the Computer Tomography Control. By that time, my Middle Lung should be intact once again. I can notice an improvement though. I can breathe freely again, and can climb the stairs without coughing and pain.

Yes, health is very important. Without it, life quality suffers, and it made me realize that am I still is....

in control of my reality.

 Merry Christmas!

P.S. My Mama Naty would have turned 79 today. Happy Birthday, Mama, have fun in Heaven.

A long pause...

Urge to write was not existent from Summer 2017 to date, nor the inspiration to do so.

Days passed swiftly, with the usual ups and downs of life, and changes came about.

Finding the right job after a strenuous learning consumed time, but it paid off. Most importantly, I have an occupation which is theoretically still is connected to my previous profession as a Nurse. Working as a Medical Coder at the Cancer Registry of Bremen in Germany makes me feel proud of what I have accomplished in Germany. At last, hardwork begets recognition and satisfaction.

A new dwelling in the midst of "Viertel", a cultural scene in Bremen, Germany, is inhabited in December 2017. A desired metamorphosis which saved a relationship. This precipitous change triggered turbulences, not only financially but also physically and psychologically.

Calming down, replenishing, as well as giving away edgy and distressing thoughts, and reckoning up life matters require my fullest attention nowadays. Throughout all these processes, I am fully aware that I should not forget to stand still, remain brave, and be resilient against disturbances. Above all, I have to remind myself always to be -

self-effacing, and yet, complacent.

2018 is a lucky year. My turn!
