First Day Back to Work!

[Ohio Girl 57]

First day back to work went well... The 10 million (exaggeration) wore me out first thing...other than being tired...I made it!!! Then I had a Girl Scout Meeting and a Cub Scout Meeting!! Came home, showered, ate and into bed!! WOW!!

Scouts and work -- wow is right! Hope you have an easy Tuesday and no evening meetings. Take good care of yourself this week. Maybe some one can take the kids out for supper and you can put your feet up.

I'm so glad your first day back went well! It is crazy how life doesn't stop even when we do! Glad you were able to jump right back in

How many days after surgery did you wait to go back to work?

We are super short handed at work rt now and the timing of my surgery was not ideal, but it was planned b4 unseen circumstances occurred. It was a kind of now or never thing for me b/c if I didn't have it last week or this week it would have been months b/c I'm also in school and we have presentations and papers that are due and I have to be in tip top shape for those!

Anyways, I am trying to figure out when to go back. I have taken a week, but hope to not need it all.

Well...I do not have kids if my own...???? But I have 15 4th, 5th and 6th grade Girl Scouts and 40 1st - 5th grade Cub Scouts!! And each one is just as AWESOME as the other!!! So, it was OK. My girls were all head strong for cookie sales and money plans and the boys...well, lets just say...they were CrAzY little boys with a TON of energy lady night. Love Then ALL!!

Hey BT!! That was the same with me!! We are severely short handed and I had used a HUGE PORTION of my off time for the PRE appointments getting ready for the surgery!! So, I had my surgery on a Wednesday morning and went back to work the following Monday. That gave me 5 days w/ the surgery day. However, I have a desk job so I wasn't standing for long periods. But, the days I was off...I RESTED!! I walked to take care of the gas stuff and the lung stuff...but NOTHING else...my TV Remote, Kindle and iPhone were all but attached to me!! GOOD LUCK!!
