Going back to work today for 1/2 day. Scared to death. Still feel weak and don't know if this is such a great idea or not. Sure not getting any better sitting around here so I am hoping by getting out and moving, it's just gotta help, at least I hope so.

I will let you know this afternoon how it goes.

I hope your first day back is a slow one. And I love the picture(LOL)

Best of luck of the first day back, take it easy!!!

OH Sweet Sue, Gosh I can barely wait to hear form you. I sure hope all went good for you. Much love hugs and prayers,River

Hello friends- I too was called in to substitute this morning,I had 40 mintues to get ready and it takes 20 min to get there, so I was starting to huff and puff then remembered to go slow and deep breathe and save me steps.do 4 things along the way,retrain my brain.and they dont mind if a sub is late.oh and sue I love your picture.I work with mentally challenged kids which I love to do,and I also work in the regular classrooms,it gets me out of the house and the good part about being a sub is that you can say no.which Im sick alot especially in the winter.hope everyone is breathing well the mucinex is really helping clear my airways.

I hope that your day was an easy, and too stresful, let us know how it was when you catch your breath. Take Care,

its rough for awhile when I get home at 3 ,the animals want my attention and to be fed their special food, and have to get the mail and sort thru that,and then do any other housework that didnt get done in the morning,then its time to do supper and dishes, but I try to rest in between.take breaks.

Hi, just a quick note to let you all know I made it 1/2 day but boy was I ever a little wimp.

Sat down on the couch and feel right to sleep.

NO, is not been a wimp hun, is just that your body is going to take a little bit of time to recover, so rest as much as you need to, and don't over do it, hopefully after a few days you will be doing better. Take care and get your beauty sleep

Hi Sue,

Glad to hear you made it okay. Did your doctor offer any suggestions to you about going back?

I don't think that's being a wimp. I worked hard - I sat in the recliner at 2:45 PM - woke up at 6:03 PM and was trying to figure out if it was morning or night! What a deep sleep. I don't consider me a wimp - if I am - I'm a tired wimp.

We could be wimps together.

Love and hugs,

Gail
