I have a pretty high-profile job and I stayed home for a couple weeks as well. I actually got my hair cut, colored and some new makeup before I went back. Its pretty late to do that Sunday afternoon, but try something new -- jewelry, eyeliner, hair back. It will make you feel good about you and that's important tomorrow. Oh, do you have any aloe gel for your burn? Try that (that would be Walgreens?) Get up a little earlier so you can take your time getting ready, and pace yourself if you get a little tired.

Remember to pack your food and snacks and smile! People will be glad to see you back! Don't push yourself, and enjoy the day.

did it really take two weeks to recover...my nurse has been saying a week or less, I get my surgery Thursday, and anticpated returning to work the following thursday...its that pushing it??!!

sandradee0124 - thanks so much for the pep-talk / ideas... you were right!

smithcl7 - I guess it depends on what your pain tolerance is - I thought mine was high but guess not that high! anyway - I was really fuzzy headed for the entire 2 weeks and in my job that could be very expensive.

I'm glad! I was thinking about you today! Keep up the good work :-) (In more ways than one lol)>>>>>>>
