I feel like I am working much harder than I was as a physical therapist. I have to deal with: my own physical rehab, learning correct operational procedures in the corporate environment, re-learning to driving with physical impairments, writing, organizing my book tour for 2010, establishing my own independence, organizing events for mAss Kickers Foundation, finalizing a budget for mAss Kickers Foundation, finalizing a budget for myself, promoting myself/book, promoting mAss Kickers Foundation, and completing the necessary paperwork for tax exemption status for mAss Kickers Foundation. I worry about money because I have a mortgage to pay, graduate student loans to pay, healthcare expenses, home owner’s association dues, and credit card bills. I am getting by, but I cannot decrease my personal debt/loans. I also need to maintain (fees and continuing education) professional licenses/certifications for physical therapy and my CSCS. Having one of my parents with me definitely helped financially, but at the same time I lose the independence I enjoyed as a young adult. I do understand that my parents worry about me, but I think I can manage living on my own. I feel like I’m not able to efficiently progress with cautious eyes watching over me. Financially, I’m starting to question if I can maintain the same lifestyle pre-surgery and still stay content. Just needed to get that off my chest. I’ll figure something out.
