Back to Work


I am back to work.  Yesterday was my second day.  I am working Mondays and Thursdays.  It has gone better than I expected.  Everyone has been very nice and helped me find everything again - Everything has been moved and there is all kinds of new equipment that I have never heard of.  When I asked, someone said "We have had that for six months".  I said "Well I've been out for nine months!"  "Oh yeah" 

It does feel good to have some part of my old life back again - to feel useful again, if only a little bit.  I have done better than I thought I might.  I thought that the Chemo might have fried my brain - that I would not be able to remember my job, but it is coming back to me.  Like riding a bike.  Slowly, but surely.  I even remembered my password to get into the computer.  I was impressed with myself for that one! 

I am tired after work!  I spent most of last nigh on the couch and then slept about ten hours.  I don't think that I am strong enough to work full time yet, two days a week seems to be just right for now. 

I am on my way!  It feels good.
