Back to work he goes....

hi oh, hi ho... It's back to work Troy goes!! 

Yeah! What? I'm thinking the same thing. This all came a lot quicker than I expected. I thought there was NO way Vandenberg would release him the same week he saw him. However, he was a little worked up about troys latest incident involving the accident. Obviously, processing speed is something Troy struggles with. The more tasks at hand, the worse his processing speed gets. He is very hopeful that Troy is going to succeed when going back to work. And, I trust his decision. He will be start with 4 hours a day for the first two weeks. Then working our way back up to 8+ hours a day. He is going back to work as an apprentice rather than a journeyman but we gotta start small and work our way back up. I'm confident Troy will get there but slow and stead wins the race. All I care about is troys safety. 

The original plan was for troy to start tomorrow. Unfortunately with all the paperwork between doctors and getting approval is taking longer than we expected. So, we will wait for the OK from all sides. Ugh, oh well, we wait. Story of our life! Hey, maybe I'm saving myself from more grey hairs by waiting a day or two. I might be the first 22 year old with 2 grey hairs on my head. I can thank Troy for that! 

Pray for Troy as he transfers back into work. Pray for safety and clear thoughts for him that he makes good decisions!

finding joy.

There was a time I wondered if I would ever find joy in life again.  I had managed to completely engulfed myself in despair. The battle of dealing with loss all while celebrating life was a concept I couldn't grasp. Most of my days were spent with a therapist, trying to make sense of my situation. The pile of problems I was facing looked more like mountains to me. I sat at the bottom of that mountain for several months and allowed satan to fill me with anger. There had been a day where I sat at the top of that mountain. How did God allow me to drop so quickly to the bottom? As I drowned in my own self-pity I slowly came to this realization: It starts with a step.  I started with a step which turned into a few steps. After a few steps I saw progress. Once I saw progress I began finding my confidence. The bigger my confidence grew the larger my steps were. Every once in a while I find a spot of loose stone and have to reroute. However, after a few wrong turns and a few mis

balance.

We have had a rough couple of months, as you may have seen from my recent posts. Troy and I have always been really good at balancing each other out. When one of us falls, the other is there to pick up the slack. I truly felt the load was too much to handle and Troy wasn't able to pick up anything for me. This is life for us now. There are more times Troy isn't able to pick up the slack and the load continues to fall heavier on me. I had many months of "too much" and finally broke. I called our "911", also known as, Doctor Vandenberg. He was able to get us in fairly quickly which NEVER happens so we are extremely thankful for that. We switched some meds around a few weeks ago and life has been significantly easier ever since. Concerta is known to have some crappy side effects which we were experiencing in full force. Since Troy's head injury one of the many issues he faces is just plain irritation with everything and everyone. He gets so unbelievably fru

Roles have reversed here at the Bosch house. I all of the sudden became patient and Troy my care giver. Scary, I know. I'm not handling it well. I have this idea that it's just easier if I do things because they will get done the way I want them too.  Last Tuesday after work I landed myself back in Holland Hospital but this time as a patient. At my last appointment my BP was elevated and they told me to keep and eye on it. Throughout the weekend I had checked it three times a day; morning, noon and night. After a few days I had noticed a trend up. Of course it was after hours so I called in just to ask. Little did I know she would have me come in for testing, let alone not let me leave for the whole night either! I was a little upset which probably didn't help the BP issue. They kept saying, "your BP is scary and girl, your swollen!". All of that was true but I was convinced I could fix it by a good night sleep :) after IV fluids, meds, blood work and fetal monito
