I returned to work today. Walking (still hunched over like a granny) from the car to the building through the lobby to the elevator down the hall to the office was more than I anticipated. By the time I had made it to my desk I was shaky. Carrying my purse, lunch and computer bag was probably pushing it a bit too. A few of my co-workers knew I was having an elective surgery but not knowing what procedure exactly dashed around their cubes to get a look-see, eyeing me up and down, lol.
It was a very long day and after about 4 or 5 hours into the
day, I was thinking to myself “ I should go home, I REALLY should go home”. But then I’d think, "I’ll just try and stay a
little bit longer". I almost made it the
entire day back but about 30 minutes before time to go home, I went and informed
my manager (I use that word loosely) that I was going home. I was very uncomfortable and sitting
flexed for so many hours had my abdominal area feeling extremely tight. I was looking somewhat pale and shaky which
she could see for herself and home I went.
I’m thinking I probably should have taken 3 weeks off
following surgery instead of two but oh well, it is what it is. I’m slowly regaining energy each day but
still tire easily. It’ll be a slow process
but I’m headed in the right direction.
