I have FINALLY received my “official” diagnosis. I have a disc herniation- T 7-8.  It is pinching the nerves on the right side of my spine. I’m still waiting for the extensive blood work results( close to a dozen vials of blood drawn) and I am at peace. Mind peace, not yet body peace. I believe I will start P/T soon, as the pain hasnt let up and we are going on 8 weeks. I take that back, the pain has moved around, but little relief. I have an appt w/ my primary doctor on Thursday to talk about returning to work. We may start back with 1/2 days, which would be fine with me. I am entering my 9th week of yoga teacher training, so the end is near. I am really hoping to get out there and teach soon after I’m certified. I have tons of idea’s for plus size women as well as for children.  I have to start calling around to the schools for maybe an after school class or two. and I want to see if any of the halls at the churches may let me use them for classes in turn for donations or a small fee. I am soooo excited to really be so close. Now it’s staying focused and taking steps towards my goals. I want to have my time with my children. Going back to a job I originally left was only out of necessity, not out of love. I am thrilled I have been able to continue pursuing my dream, and am confident I will be living my dream in the very near future. I have 4 weeks left of training, then I have to teach a class as part of the certification. Gosh, I can hardly wait.  To see the vision so clearly, is absolutely amazing. This Friday, I am headed to Bridgeport, to observe, and hopefully participate, in a class taught to elementary school age children.  Then the yoga retreat at the end of the month, to help solidify it all. I couldnt be happier.Thanks to everyone for their kind and heartfelt comments.  They really mean a lot.
