Ready to Fly
I became interested in Medical Transcription as a profession for a few reasons, the most compelling being the ability to work from home.

This appealed to me in a big way because I have agoraphobia, panic and anxiety attacks when out in public or in a situation that is out of my control. I do best when I have someone with me I can trust, and so far that burden has fallen on the shoulders of my mom Alice, younger brother Andrew and wonderful husband, JR.

I am extremely self-conscious when in public due to my weight and am constantly tugging at my clothing or holding myself in. I have to remind myself to breathe, that I will get through this. I'm sure I am not alone in this in the general sense, but when I am in this state, I am alone. 

I leave the house twice a month to do grocery shopping, pay bills and re-supply household goods. My brother is my companion on these trips and although he is a humongous help and takes my mind off my surroundings, he's 19 and has a life of his own.

I know that if I had this life-changing surgery...if I were blessed with this tool to finally take myself and my life back into my own hands, I would flourish!!

People would finally see me and not this body I have made into my prison/cocoon. I am a funny, smart, witty, intelligent person. I love my family with all I am and it doesn't seem to come through all these limitations I have.

I have continued to say I have forgiven the person who set this off in me, but have I really? Am I living the life Creator intended for me? Am I whole?

It's time to take control, put myself first, and fly.
