Probably the worst part of dealing with diabetes is how it has wrecked my finances, along with any chance of a normal life. By normal, I mean working a 9-5, having 2.3 kids, and buying a little house in the 'burbs with a white picket fence.
It's tough to have a career when every so often it's necessary to take off a year or two. My latest "vacation" has been a year and a half since I was able to work part-time, and much longer since full-time.
I'll give the Reader's Digest version.
The worst part is I had to constantly reinvent myself. I began my own business in the automotive field, and as I began losing time due to illness, the business had some trouble.
I then entered social services. I worked at that while going back to college.
I became a certified teacher.
I haven't been able to work full-time in that field as I have been ill. Even the part-time tutoring position has become impossible. The worst part is I love teaching. I'm even pretty good at it. Some of my kids I tutored showed the greatest increases in skills in the center in which I worked.
So, instead of being a happy, productive memeber of society, I sit home and blog.
This disease has been slowly destroying my life. Hence the name of the blog. : )
Next part--what is getting better.
