I'm glad to be back at work.  I am ready to begin my new daily regimen.  I honestly believe sitting at home was hurting more than it was helping.  I will go to my car at lunch time and take a nap though.

It's good to get up and about but make sure you don't over do it. Make sure you listen to your body. Good Luck!!!

Do you have an option to work from home? If not, and you need to be in the office, just be sure to LISTEN to your body. When you are tired, STOP. (Of course, have a talk with your boss about it first, LOL).

I went back  early two, slept in my car at lunch, and slept when I got home. I was going crazy at home too.

rhon,

Good for you! You're a stud. Can't believe your back to work already. Good for going to car a lunch and resting. Bless you and keep up the good work.

I agree, I think I felt better and recovered faster by getting back into my normal work routine.  I also had to take a nap as soon as I got home, but I felt so much better being at work than laying on the couch in my pajamas.
