Have you ever made a decision that was so hard but also right? It doesn't make it easier that it was the right decision and almost hurts more. I recently made that decision and I know, 100% it was the right decision but man, it was a hard one. Let me give some background detail.
I worked as a medical biller for 2.5 years. I started in June 2019 and started looking for a new job in Nov 2019 because the environment was so bad. I didn't get a new job till Nov 2021 and finished the billing job officially on Feb e1, 2022. My new job was working for a vet clinic. Fast paced high volume job and I loved every bit of it. I loved most of my coworkers and the environment was amazing. I mean, how can you go wrong with snuggling animals all day long! However, shortly after starting to work at the vet, my kids started to have health issues. My oldest developed ticks that were now worse and what was thought to be temporary, is now looking more permanent and I have no clue what that means in terms of living a normal life. My son has had tummy issues but they have gotten considerably worse to where we are now driving to Spokane more often and only having 1 day a week to do appts is making it take way longer! I finally came to the decision to end my time at the vet and stay home with my kids. That was the plan eventually but that was looking more like summer time, not now. Hardest decision ever but best decision ever. I didn't realize how stressed I was and even my kids have noticed I am happier. It's also allowing me to get my house in order more and train our adorable almost 9 month old puppy! But the best thing about this is it allows me to focus on my kids health which I felt like was spiraling out of control and there was nothing I could do about it since I wasn't home. I have an autistic son with gut issues. I have a hormonal preteen trying to figure out her identity while also dealing with an addiction to her phone and ticks that we hope go away but looking more and more like they will stay. And I don't even know where to begin with that. I have more time to figure it all out. Hopefully we can get more answers and more things in place to better things for my kids!
