Today marks exactly two months since my radical hysterectomy. There are days that it feels like it happened so long ago, but there are days where it feels like it happened yesterday. I suppose it's always gonna be like that. Dr. Moxley tells me that it's gonna be about a year or so before I feel somewhat normal again, at least physically. Emotionally, it'll probably take years to recover. I'll have my good days and I'll have my bad days. Just gotta learn to take them as they come. :-)
Today's also the day that I finally return to regular duty. I had returned to work three weeks ago, but I had come back on light duty--it was the way Dr. Moxley would allow me to come back early. Being on light duty wasn't too bad...but it did suck that I couldn't help my fellow co-workers whenever they needed it. :-/ now, I can help whenever the need arises. But I would be lying if I said I wasn't nervous about working with patients again. So much has changed in the time I've been away. I also don't want a patient to get upset and kick me in the stomach, especially since I'm still sensitive in that area. I still find it difficult to lift heavy things. But I gotta deal with things as they come. Besides, I've got good co-workers that will always have my back.
