Well, like the title says - I finally was able to start back to work today. It was great, although I think my brain is still hibernating or secretly watching TV. Oh well, I'm sure that I will get back into the swing in no time. My only downer of the day was that I may not be going back to the job that I had, and that bums me out. It took me years to train the sales guys I work with - took a lot of nagging and bitching, etc. and of course, the company has made the job so much easier now - I want to enjoy the cream, the ease of the new systems, damn it!!! LOL. I am so lucky to have a job to go back to, not sure how I would have coped with no job - perish the thought. I thought that I would be completely dead on my feet, but I'm still jazzed. Hope that I can sleep, or my poor brain will be even worse off. So it's half days for 2 weeks and then full bore. I'm hoping that when the plastic surgeon does the skin graft to cover and heal the wound, everything goes smoothly. I would hate having to take any more time off for this stupid, stupid, stupid %&%&%&&__()() wound. Also, Stefant the stoma was so well behaved today, no singing, no squirting like a maniac, or acting like a Riverdance extra; he was such a good little boy that I am thinking of ways to reward him. Hope everybody had a good day, if not a great one.
Congratulations on your first half-day back to work! And that Stefant behaved himself! You will do great... keep forever positive!
