Family
My dad got a job in Hawaii in May this year and accepted it. He is traveling between Arizona and Hawaii when he has time so he can make sure I am ok
My mom has been in India since January working for our mentor who I have known for 10 years. I hope she comes home soon because I know she misses me and I miss her a lot too!
My little sister is in Chicago doing her surgery fellowship and she works hard day and night to save people’s lives. I am so proud of her!
As for me, I am alone at home with my dog and I take care of the house and have a daily routine I follow.
During the week I go to a daytime therapy program since April and I also have a job at Burger King on weekends.
My sister has been starting to and me these meals from “Cook Unity” it is a company where they send chef inspired meals. She told me to count calories but I feel like she thinks I am fat!
hi there thanks for reaching out to 2ndfloor. thank you for sharing about your family, it sounds like although they are traveling abroad that they still check in with you and care about you very much. have you asked your sister what her intentions were behind sending you the meal plan, because it could just be since she knows you are home independently that she wants to make sure you are eating and getting a healthy caloric intake. if you have any concerns about your health or weight you can always check in with your primary care doctor to make sure things are going ok. we are here 24/7 if you need to reply back or text with us on the app!
It sounds like you have a lot going on right now! Your dad’s job in Hawaii must be exciting, but it’s great that he’s making the effort to travel back to Arizona to check in on you. It’s clear he cares a lot about you!
I can imagine how much you miss your mom since she’s been in India for so long. It’s awesome that she’s working with someone you admire, but I hope she gets to come home soon so you can spend time together. And your little sister sounds amazing! It takes a lot of dedication to be in a surgery fellowship, and it’s really inspiring that she’s working hard to help others.
It’s great to hear that you’re keeping up with your daily routine and taking care of the house. Going to therapy and working at Burger King shows that you’re really proactive about taking care of yourself and managing everything. Plus, having your dog around must be a nice source of comfort!
If you ever feel overwhelmed or lonely, remember it’s okay to reach out to friends or family. You’re doing a lot, and it’s important to take care of yourself too. Keep being proud of what you’re accomplishing, and hopefully, your mom will be home soon to give you a big hug! 🐾❤️
