  • Back to work

    Hey Everyone,

    Today was my first day back at work and everything went great. I put in a regular day (7:20 to 3:20). It makes you feel so good to hear everyone tell you how good you look and how straight you are. I wore some black capri pants with a FITTED top. Usually it would have been a loose top. I only have a few restrictions, no lifting or pushing anything heavier that 10 pounds, no lunch or bus duty, and take 2 5-minute breaks every hour. I went and laid down in the nurses office about 3 times just to stretch out for a little bit. Hopefully, tomorrow will be just as good. Take care. Theresa

    Congratulations! Although I work from home, I totally remember how great it was the first time I got to see people and act normal outside of home, and have everyone tell me that I looked great. :-)

    Regards,
    Linda
