I met with my doctor this morning. We discussed my raised and knobby scar (it will fade with time), my ginromous undies and sweatpants (they will be less necessary as my scar flattens), and my fatigue (I should continue pushing myself).I explained that my biggest concern about returning to work wasn't my job, but the commute. We talked about it and agreed it makes sense for me to return to work midweek, so I can get used to traveling to and fro and going full days without nap breaks, with a weekend upon me rather quickly. So my first day back will be Wednesday, 10/19. Three days on, two days off, and then back to full weeks again.
I feel better about the 19th than I did the 17th. And I'm confident I'll be able to handle it. My doctor says that, if all goes well, we shouldn't see each other again until my 2012 check up. As much as I like him, that suits me fine!
