Hi Hallie Mae,
First of all, I know how scary this all is. I once sat and thought the same things, and it scared me. I can't tell you what course you illness will take, but I lived for over 40 years with my infections. That's most of my life.
So how are you doing? How is your treatment going?
Try to watch for work in a better situation. I know that depending on your line of work, the job market might not be too good, but try to be on the look out for one. We can only work with what we have right now, but we can always look for a way to better it.
Are you able to dress in enough layers to keep warm?
Can you keep a thermos of herbal hot tea near you and drink that at work?
And I think I already know the answer to this, but can you bring your own small heater to work with you and use it?
Hang in there, we have some great members that are really creative. Maybe they will have some ideas as well.
None of this is easy, but you have two of the most beautiful reasons for fighting tooth and nail for your healing - your little girls. You'll make it through this, and it takes a lot of work sometimes, but we're here to offer support and suggestions, and tips as best as we can. You're not alone.
