Too Many Hats: Stressed By CF Management
It’s only Tuesday, and already I feel like I’m juggling too many things this week. Other than homeschooling and teenage meltdowns, I also had a major doctor appointment today (always a long driving distance away, of course), plus a column to submit, ASL classes to finish recording, and two dance classes to teach online. Even though this feels like a light load on paper (my dance company is still on pause right now, for example, and other projects halted), the juggling of too many hats sometimes makes me feel like I’m short changing all of them. Know what I mean?
This made me think about this feeling when it comes to medicine.
Do you prefer doing one strong treatment (a round of IVs or a surgical fix) or juggling lots of little less-invasive fixes instead? Are you a fast fix or a long-term fix type of personality?
To expand: Do you like delaying more severe interventions that help a symptom quickly, or do you favor longer-but-less-intense options? Do you also feel overwhelmed by “too many hats” when it comes to your CF management?
