Back to work.

britishbandit · 11-19-2006, 07:56 PM

Well tomorrow is my first day back at work since I went off in May for my surgery. The treatments for the endo have been really rough, and although I still need meds to get me through the days, I feel I'm ready to get back to it. Thankfully I am going back on a work hardening program, only 2 hours for 2 weeks, then 4 hours. I have to go to my doctor for an evaluation before I can go more than 4 hours, and see how everything is going, but it's a start!
I get my final shot in a week, and hoping in March to see if all of this has been worth it, and that it has worked!
The disease isn't curable, but can recess and the endometrial growths can shrink, sssoooo fingers crossed I won't need a hysterectomy at 26!!

Sorry, ramble ramble ramble!!!

I hope you have a good first day back. I know how it is being out of school for a while and then trying to get back into the swing, but sometimes its nice to get back.

I hope the treatments have worked to recess it! That would be awesome x2 LOL Crossing all fingers and paws here!

I'm glad that you're feeling well enough to start back to work.

rottielover · 11-19-2006, 08:28 PM

Good luck to you....Get to bed

TinyAlbinoDancer · 11-19-2006, 08:41 PM

I'm glad you're ready and able to go back to work, too. Take it easy and take care of yourself, ok!

I hope when you go back to work that it wont be too hard on you. Your too young for all this! Goodness! Please take it real easy and positive thoughts are going out to you.

Glad to see your treatments are working and I agree with the others , don't over do it and take your time to build up your strength.

britishbandit · 11-20-2006, 07:49 AM

Thanx all!

Well, I've been home about an hour, and my back is a bit sore, but other than that, it wasn't too bad. Go figure though, they put me on the machine with the biggest parts in the plant on it! DOH!
Ah well, I made it.

rottielover · 11-20-2006, 08:11 AM

yeah she is alive and still kicking

shaerenae · 11-20-2006, 08:45 AM

Hope all goes well, Karen! I've had you in my thoughts and prayers!

I'm sure you'll be sore for a while, yet...I still get those "twinges", so take it slow and easy.

Hugs!

PitBullGrrl · 11-20-2006, 12:43 PM

Glad you're doing better, and I hope you have a great day at work!
