Well tomorrow it will be 10 weeks since my surgery and I am headed back to work. I am not sure how I really feel about it besides nervous, anxiety, stressed, overwhelmed, but then thinking Dr. Tew said I was ready 3 weeks ago… My boss has been nothing but supportive but I am a little nervous… It will be an 11 hour day tomorrow from the time my alarm goes off to the time I get home from work. Sitting in an office chair… A nice new one they ordered for me 🙂 but still… I have been very active since the day I got released but not 12 hours sitting at a desk or driving in a car. And mornings are still so hard. Getting up stiff and the energy to get out of bed let alone taking a shower at 5:45am and a 40 minute drive in rush hour. I hope I can do this… It’s almost that I really have no choice any way. FMLA is only 12 weeks… Sure I could’ve taken another 2 weeks but in the back of my head I wanted to save it “just in case” I love my job but so much anxiety over seeing people 10 weeks later and all the questions to come and attention I’d rather not have even though I know they mean well. I hope my body can keep up with my mind, and hope my mind can keep up with work. I know it won’t be easy and I know it is going to suck but gotta do what you gotta do I suppose. Wish me luck! I’ll let you know how it goes.
