Working

Wow everytime I come back I can't believe the amount of time that has passed. When I last wrote I stated that d day was approaching. Well I have started back working. Boy work is much harder than I ever thought it would be. For whatever reason as much as I tried to prepare my body for being out of the bed for longer periods of time, I wasn't prepared for this. My body hurts all over and my back pains are worse. I had reached a predictable amount of pain upon awakening and had become used to the pain, but now the pain is to severe first thing in the morning.

I am only trying to work three little hours a day three days a week for a total of nine itsy bitsy hours/week. I am worn out at the end of each day....and thank God for a day to breath and to rest to rebuild. I don't do much at all so I don't know why it is so hard. I guess being on my feet is just harder than I every imaged. I love what I do though and I an so blessed to be in the work force again. I have been down and out since 2001...that is eight years. And for 5 of those years I was on complete bed rest. I was even able to sit up in bed to eat. I had to eat on my side. In fact I had to do everything on my side. The only time I was out of the bed was to go to the bathroom or the doctor. This was a horrible life...no life at all, yet it was my life. I have to say for a while I was able to blog more and with the feedback of encouraging words I met a lot of cyber friends. For the first time I found support groups. And in my own little way I tried to give back with my knowledge. Now I am able to give back in the office. I pray I can at least continue to do office based patient care. There is so much I want to write about, but guess what? I have work tomorrow. Yeah me I have work, therefore I need to get off and get some rest. I’ll update on next post.
