Uninspired

I am feeling thoroughly uninspired at work these days. I'm not sure why. It could be the chaos of being purchased by another company--We're no longer Healthsouth but FiveStar Quality Company New England Rehabilitation Hospital.

(This could bring many good things eventually or hardly any other changes.)

Maybe I'm jealous of people who can work at home at their own pace, in their pajamas and it doesn't matter if they forget to "pack a lunch". Or women with children who get to work part time or not at all.

It could be that I'm just feeling lazy. But I can't sit still at all. I want to organize my new apartment, have things all in place just so. There is much patience involved in setting up shop somewhere new.

And I feel bad that a lot of my patients aren't getting much better. We all go through these cycles--"my patient would get better even if i wasn't forcing therapy on them" or "they aren't going to get much better here, and maybe at all. so why torture them!"

Whatever it is, I can hardly muster the energy to see even the simplest of patients these past two weeks post wedding and honeymoon. It is not a good thing! I hope I can shake it!

Hi B, I felt exactly like that after our wedding and honeymoon. It was like, "what, I have to get back to real life? I'm done spending my energy planning a party for all my favorite people in the world? I don't get to wake up and spend the day traveling with my new husband?" I guess it's pretty common to have that feeling of anticlimax. It will get better. I hope the work situation turns out alright.
It was great seeing you - you and P both looked lovely and your ceremony and reception were so well done. You really made everyone feel welcome.

Love you! Kelly T.
