Chain Reaction: Heads or Tails

Heads or Tails

Heads - I get a new FT Job in TN that I interviewed for today and they already made an offer to me - then I countered offered at the end of the day for more $$$.

Tails - I do not get the new FT Job in TN and go back to PA sooner than later and begin my job search there.

By this time tomorrow I should know the answer to the above Quarter Flip/Flop. I'm letting it up to chance. I don't feel strongly about it one way or another. Whatever is meant to be will be.

-------------------------------------------------

On a side note, after being on Copaxone almost 6 months now, I REALLY feel like it's working. Even hubby noticed the past 2-3 weeks my endurance and energy levels have improved greatly. I pray that my body will continue to respond so well and I can work Full time without any issues no matter where it is at in the future.

Living Day to Day with Multiple Sclerosis said...: I have no idea which side of the coin would be better for you. I guess I would have to think as to what would make you the happiest?

As for the Copaxone... I noticed the same change when I started it about a year ago. I hope it continues for you.; July 01, 2009

I gave them a counter offer I am waiting to hear back on. If they accept my counter offer for more $$$ then I stay in TN for now.

If they don't accept, I am going to immediately start looking in PA and maybe even go up there this summer and stay with my sister while I look.

So, we will see...; July 01, 2009

For those who don't know MS first hand - An Important Excerpt from Wikipedia on MS:

The person with MS can suffer almost any neurological symptom or sign, including changes in sensation (hypoesthesias and paraesthesias), muscle weakness, muscle spasms, or difficulty in moving;^[15] difficulties with coordination and balance (ataxia);^[15] problems in speech (dysarthria) or swallowing (dysphagia),^[16] visual problems (nystagmus, optic neuritis, or diplopia),^[17] fatigue, acute or chronic pain,^[18]^[19] and bladder and bowel difficulties.^[19]^[20] Cognitive impairment of varying degrees and emotional symptoms of depression or unstable mood are also common.^[21]^[22] The main clinical measure of disability progression and symptom severity is the Expanded Disability Status Scale or EDSS.^[23]

Multiple sclerosis relapses are often unpredictable, occurring without warning and without obvious inciting factors. Some attacks, however, are preceded by common triggers. Relapses occur more frequently during spring and summer.^[24] Infections such as the common cold, influenza, or gastroenteritis increase the risk of relapse.^[25]^[26] Stress may also trigger an attack.
