Returning to Work

                                                                             
           I am so tired of being off work for so long.  I mean don't get me wrong it had it's good times and some bad times.  I  guess I'm just glad to be going back into the workforce.  Just to be able to intermingle with more people on a one to one basis.  I really miss being around my friends from work.  I could deal without the conflicts with the drivers but all in all it will be a nice  change from being cooped up here at home these past few months.

         This past few months have been a lot of ups and downs dealing with all the paperwork in regards to my disability issues, getting my new drivers license renewed.  Having to call all these different agency to get answers to my questions and never being able to get through to actually speak to someone. I only hope to not have any more issues like this once I get back to work. 

         The only problem I think I am going to really have trouble dealing with is my sleeping patterns cause of getting to bed later and sleeping longer every day.  It is going to be a little tough getting my self adjusted to my work schedule sleeping patterns, but I'm sure I will make the adjustment because I need to get back to work. 

        My therapy has been going so well and I am almost all the way back to full range of motion. There are some limitations on the injured side but my therapist feels that might have to deal more with the plate and screws in my arm.  I mainly just want to be able to shave my head or even just trim my head with the trimmer.  So as long as I able to that I think I would be fine.   

         Well one thing for sure it is going to be different after being off work so long, considering the longest I was ever off before was 5 weeks and right now it this has been a 5 month period.  I only hope that the transition is going to be easy, I mean it's like riding a bike I guess as long has there hasn't been too many changes.  Obviously I will be able to handle the typing portions of the job pretty easily as I have been typing a few letters and blogs during this time period. 

         I know there is a part of me that is a little worried about being out there in the workforce.  There is still the threat of this stupid virus going on and I guess that makes it a little scary, but then again some of this might be little bit of overkill.  But whatever it might be it is still a constant that I will now have to deal with in the workplace as well as when getting together with my daughter. 

          All I know is that when I do go back to work it will definitely be something new to deal with.  I guess I will cross that bridge when I get there, but until then I will be just relaxing on my last week off before I return to work.  So here is to my last week off and hopefully everything goes well this week and my first week back at work.
