Going back to work tomorrow and I’m scared

Hi Cammy!

Glad to hear that your building is down to 15 people, that is quite a change I'm sure. My office is down to 2-3 per day (we're on the 3rd floor of our building) with physicians we support coming and going as they need to. One of my co-workers daughter is a pediatric nurse who is, obviously, essential personnel right now. She goes to work for her four 12-hour shifts a week, comes home, and does exactly what you do, she strips in the mud room, puts everything in the wash including her shoes, and then jumps in the shower. All before she greets her children and her parents. You are doing the right things to keep yourself and your mom safe. Well done!

I hope that your week is turning out well, how is the fatigue? That was one thing I worried about going back to work. Of course, now my surgery has been postponed so I don't have to worry about that for now. Take good care and stay safe! ((HUGS))

I know you look amazing with your weight loss already, any compliments or stares?

Congratulations on your new routine, I'm going back to work around the 16th.

Yes!! Some people said I looked so thin. Lol! I was like I’ll take it. I wanted to say but I have so far to go! I’m trying to learn to take a compliment. ❤️

Hey Machalo,

Thanks for the encouraging words! I really appreciate it! ❤️

You know what, I got my energy back last week around mid week. I got my sleeve on 3/3/20 so it took a good 3 1/2 weeks before I felt back to myself.
Well, no, I have more energy now than I had before surgery. I’m so happy I did this and yes, very thankful a lot of peeps are no longer around at my office—less exposure.
We’re trying to make it as fun as we can. Now that a lot of people are gone we can act up and laugh loud and curse LMAO! Hey, it’s whatever gets your group through the day, huh??

Hang in there, y’all will have your surgery soon. And just be very gentle with yourself when you do. Of course, we’ll be here to help you and all others postponed any way we can!

So glad it’s going as well as can be. I’m sure they must be so glad to have you back.
