I can't believe it's been one week since I was able to return to work. I spent six weeks at home recovering from the hysterectomy, and I was going stir-crazy! :-( so imagine my excitement when I was given the green light to return to duty. OK, so Dr. Moxley said I could only return to work if it was on light duty. But hey, light duty is better than no duty, is it not? I can agree with those conditions. Those that haven't gone through what I went through couldn't possibly begin to know what I felt like during that time off. But anyway...
My first day back was a little unnerving. I didn't know what to expect, how people were going to react. So many things had changed in the time I was gone, so it was going to be like starting a new job. But people were mostly accommodating. I had a few naysayers that I don't think were happy with my return, but I say screw them. They don't mean anything to me, anyhow. The people who mattered to me were the ones I was interested in...no one else mattered.
My true friends at work gave me hugs and congratulated me on being able to come back early. It's not been easy since last Monday. The walk to and from the unit each day kills me, energy-wise. But the awesome thing is that when I leave at night, I always seem to have someone walking with me. I never walk out alone. That's cool, too. :-) So, for all the haters I have, I have so many more people supporting me. That's what matters.
