Everyday for the last four weeks, my coworkers have been asking how I am doing. My response is always the same.... "I keep coming back so I must be doing good.'
I am AMAZED on how well I am doing being back at work. Truthfully, I was terrified to return to work. Imagine the anxiety you feel returning to work after a two week vacation and multiply that by 100. I was scared I would be tired, scared I lost some brain function, scared that I lost my work ethic. Well, I was scared for no reason at all and it's like I never left. I have more energy now than I did when I wasn't working. I have decided that being lazy just makes you more lazy. I am back working 10 hour days and I am loving every second of it. Ok, I am lying... I do not like my alarm going off at 5:30am......!
The most gratifying part of being back at work is that I do not have time to think of myself as a transplant patient. I take my pills throughout the day but at no other time do I feel like I was ever sick. I am being cautious and being a germ freak but other than spraying Lysol a couple of times a day... I AM BACK TO MY NORMAL LIFE!!!!
We leave for Maui in 21 days and I am so excited! After working for 7 weeks, I need a vacation! LOL.... just kidding. Joe won Manager of the Year and we were suppose to go on this trip last year but I decided to mess up those plans by almost dying so his work is letting us go this year!
Dad and I can even hear it in your voice, sounding happier and like you were before this all happened. Congrats my loved one.
