Back to Work
Jan 05, 2010
Yesterday was my first day back to work; almost 5 weeks out. I was very nervous about coming back to work because my boss is 100 mph at all times and I"m just too tired right now. I am about out of vacay time though and can't afford 66% of my pay on disability so I forced myself to come back. I did okay with the day. I was just very tired b/c I could'nt take my normal nap. I've been really struggling to get out of bed in the AM and have been late both days but thankfully my boss is just so glad to have me back that it's okay right now. I was surprised to find that I wasn't buried in piles of work when I returned. I stayed on top of e-mail while I was off so that really helped and I only had 1 stack of "to-do's" on my desk. It really is strange though when the world is operating at a different speed than you. It's like I'm in slow mo. I walk, talk, move, etc. in slower motion that anyone around me and they're all running circles. I'm trying to get back into the swing of things though; lil by lil and day by day. Luckily I have a desk job so that helps too. Trying to build a schedule where I get my water all in and vitamins. Still a work in progress but making strides. So anyway today is day 2 and I'm chugging away. Hopefully I'll feel more like myself soon.I'm still experimenting with food to see what works and doesn't. I don't have many belly aches anymore but do still feel generally sour or something. My poops are leveling out. I go every few days and sometimes they have solid matter and sometimes it's still really watery. Dr. L said this is normal and will be more solid around 2 months. So for now, I'm content just trying to get feeling more energetic and trying to find new foods since I'm gagging down the same ol' same ol'. Hope everyone is doing well. I'll post again as soon as something signifigant happens. :-) Hope you all had a great holiday! Mine was easy peasy as my husband wants to snowmobile but since I can't get I sit in the motel bored out of my mind. 4 more weeks and I can go again. Woot!
