By June...
I managed to find ways to keep me busy... keep my mind occupied... keep me sane from the tinnitus I was now living with, by working at a local retail store handling their book section.
Book Sale Project
- Organized books by genre, target age, and specific events such as holidays.
- Stocked shelves in a more pleasing to the eye display.
- Proposed a book sale which would increase traffic to the new store.
- Suggested and made contact with local library's to form a partnership which would make the public more aware of the new stores location and gain FREE advertising.
- Printed up all signs and event letters
- Proposed donation to the library for their support.
- Wrote up a Book Processing Procedure Guide detailing the steps on receiving books into the store and shipping them out.
I quickly started tracking the sales. What once use to be little or no sales in just half a months time brought in close to $90.00. It would be this project that would help me through my starting stages of receiver from the double surgery... an infection that came out of nowhere first targeting my throat and going into both ears cause me so much pain, loss of hearing in both ears and severe migraines.
The work I had been doing I was unable to continue doing... imagine for a moment what it would be like to hear one day and the next suddenly unable to hear anything but a whisper... that's what it was like I struggled to hear people talk... I found myself turning the t.v. all the way up! To me it was barely normal to other blasting. I couldn't talk on the phone! I couldn't hear anyone. It was very frustrating and I think I found myself most upset and disappointed with the doctor who had no degree of care for what I was going through. He did the surgery and wanted nothing more to do with it when I voiced my concerns for my hearing not coming back like we had thought, or would give me no explanation why I was in so much pain as the healing started every sound hurt, it was like god had turned up the volume in my head and everyone else was listening to the world at a normal range and my 't.v. to the world had the volume blasting and the knob to turn it down was broken.'
Here at this small retail store it was quiet with few workers and even less noise. It was a place of refuge for me.. somewhere I could both heal and work.. somewhere I would feel comfortable.. something to do to take my mind off all the noise in my head.
