First Day on the Job Mood
Monday, March 3, 2008

Today was the first day at work - all I did was watch films and fill out papers and I am exhausted! Most people would laugh at that idea, but I know you all who have pain, fibro, depression and other things will understand. I know that I have to work and do this, but I am almost in tears wondering if I can really, truly make it day after day. I know it will be different when I am out and about seeing patients, but all I could do today was get home and take my meds and get in the shower. My shoulders and back burn.

I am happy though - I am truly back at work. I never would have believed it even 3 months ago, but I am doing it. Keep all the good thoughts coming - I need all of them I can get!

I love you guys!

Blessings,

Star )O(

    Most people wouldn't understand that after my 8-hour Monday, it really helps to have Tuesday off. Then I am back on Wednesday and Thursday and three days off. Sending all the positive energy I've got to you my friend - rest well and rejuvenate. I know the feeling of earning a living again will help to get you through as it does me. Blessings, hugs, and a lot of positive energy headed your way!

    ((Star))) First off~congrats!! The last few weeks have been a whirlwind for me but I tried to keep up.
    Don't, or try not to think about the big pic in regard to the fibro. One day at a time. Whatever will be.....
    Love and light,
    J.

    Congratulations! I am so proud of you! Definately it will be an adjustment both mentally and physically, but you can do this! Once your body gets used to the different routine, you may find yourself feeling better. This of course coming from a woman that has not worked in over 6 years, and is in chronic neck, shoulder and back pain from fibro, disc herniation, arthritis, etc. lol I am going to go back to school in the fall and so eventually I will go back to work too. Good luck and lot of positive energy coming your way! Hugs
