Yesterday, I did something that should be very helpful to me as i work toward wellness. My doctor had referred me to a nurse case manager to help me set goals and identify strategies to increase my well being and improve my health. I've been a social worker/case manager for years, and thr thought of getting on the other side of the desk whist some (much younger than me) person helped me in this way was pretty scary.
I think I was a bit hostile for the first moment or two. I'm going to blame it on anxiety. The truth was, I was so sure that she would be really rigid in terms of her feelings about diabetes care, weight, etc. She was actually pretty flexible. And she really listened! The hour just flew by. I walked out with some new knowledge, a definite plan of action for the next few months, and maybe a little more hope.
The big thing, for me, was that I was having a hard time getting active. I have some physical problems that really interfere with my life. The nurse arranged for me to see a fellow who is both a recreational therapist and a kinesiologist. She assures me that he will work with me to find activities I like, that I can do, and that will improve my health. Yay!
