I was ready to return to work on the 1st February. I had the nursery sorted and had tried to mentally prepare myself for leaving Rhiannon all day but it looks like I will not be returning to work. I am going to be made redundant. Well I cannot formally say this as I am in the"consultancy period" and if I can come up with any great business ideas or they find something for me at another office I could potentially still be employed. However I am sure they would have offered another position if one were there, instead of putting me on notice that I may be made redundant. Still I guess they are just following the rules. Whoever made them up seems to think that going all around the houses is a great idea. I have my next meeting this Thursday and should hopefully be told in more definite language what happens next.
It is all really stressful. I am owed three months notice whether they want me to work or not.Whilst I am sure I can find another job in that time (even if it is something to tide me over) it is all a load of stress and anxiety that I could do without. Especially as this could potentially aggravate my epilepsy and I haven't had a seizure for about three and a half months now. I am hoping that I won't have any for a long time now. I used to have a break through seizure every few years which is manageable. I would like to get back to that.
So I must now think positive, happy and relaxing thoughts. Looking at Rhiannon definitely helps. I think we have the cutest 6 month old alive. She is always smiling. On the plus side of course i get to spend a little longer at home with her so it is not all bad.
I have just done and interview for Pregnancy and Birth magazine. The lady I spoke to was really nice. I hope the article shows that women with epilepsy are just as capable as everyone else at being parents and that the pregnancy doesn't have to be any different from non-epileptic Mums. Still we shall see.
Well I had better sign off for now.
