Back at Work

I unexpectedly had to return to work Saturday. (3 weeks before the doctor's ok)  The joys of owning  your own small business!  Just when I thought I lost all faith in people because of my predicament friends started coming through my doors to help.  I had a friend take me in the back to curl my hair since I still can't extend or lift my right arm.  I had a friend making sure I was handing out the correct change to customers since I am still a little groggy on my meds.  I had a friend moving boxes in the back. I had a friend come in just to check on me.  THANK YOU to everyone - you know who you are.  I am truly blessed in the face of another roadblock to have such amazing family and friends. 

So, it's Monday and it feels good to get back into the swing of things a bit.  I find mornings are my best time so I feel pretty good right now.  I even have my fake boobs on today.  They are the ones they give you while you wait for the real-like ones so they are a little hard to control.  I am not sure I will make it through the day with them.

It feels like people look at my chest area and I get that - it's only natural to look.  Since you can adjust the amount of stuffing in these temporary boobs I am tempted to really load them up to see my friend's reaction.

I still can't drive and that's a blow to my independance.  So, to make myself feel like it's a choice I sit in the back like I am being chauffeured. 

Slowly but surely I am feeling better.  I have to go in to the doctor every few days to have fluid build up taken out.  I head back to Mayo May 4 to see how things are looking and we just try to keep positive.
