I have had multiple gallbladder attacks since September n finally having surgery on 6/1. I’m being told it’s same day surgery but I’m extremly nervous. I always get very sick from anesthesia. I have a huge fear of it but I also get sick. Last year, I had a myomectomy n I woke up with extreme dizziness, throwing up and very nauseas. I was supposed to be in and out but was not released until right before midnight. I know I need to have the gallbladder surgery but I have so much anxiety about it. Any advice or anything anyone can say to help would be appreciated

Hello my fellow paralegals. So I currently work at a pi firm that is small, one owner. The pay is low, we have no benefits , no pto, etc. they r very flexible if u need to be out but u just wont get paid. The attorney is easy to work with and i like the job but decided to seek out another opportunity due to the low pay and no benefits situation. I was offered another position with higher pay, full benefits, pto etc. it is on the defense side of pi and it is a large firm so there is room for growth. I’m very comfortable in my current position and I need some reassurance that I’m doing the right thing leaving a firm that i already know is a good fit. I’m nervous now to take this leap as I had bad experiences in the past. Please give me some advice!

Edit: I have asked for more money before at my current firm n they r not willing to pay more. They consider my position “entry level” but I’m not doing entry level work.

Hello all. I’m having the gallbladder surgery on June 1. In the meantime. I’m constantly nauseas all the time and dealing with a lot of pain. I’m trying to work and not take time off since I will be out for the surgery. I would like to know any advice of things that helped you get thru while awaiting surgery ?

Hello all. I need advice and I would like to ask my fellow paralegals. So, I have been a paralegal for about 2 years now working in personal injury. Before I was a paralegal, I was an emergency room tech working in healthcare for 16 years. I went back to school because at that point I wanted a change and to explore another career. I loved my paralegal classes and actually obtained my bachelors degree as well. My dilemma is that since I started working, I feel I just do not enjoy the job and that I’m getting no fulfillment out of it compared to being in healthcare. I switched firms about a year in and I do like the firm that I’m at now as the attorney is very nice, flexible and the staff are all nice to work with. However, I still feel like I’m just getting thru each day and just not enjoying it and not seeing it as something I can do long term.

I’m seriously considering going back to healthcare but I feel I have put so much time into launching this career n getting my degree so that pulls me back.

Any advice I would appreciate ! Thank you all.
