Back at Work

I returned back to work last week after being gone for 8 weeks. It was a long week, especially since I was dead tired by 2pm each day. I managed to push through and make it a full week. It was a busy week attempting to get up to speed with all that has changed within Tribune Interactive over the past few weeks. I was pleased to find that my team did a great job keeping things up and running with few incidents. I am not sure they really need me anymore. Well it feels great to be back in the swing of things, now to get my blog part of my normal routine again.

Almost Myself . . .

It has been almost 4 weeks since I was released from the hospital and I am finally starting to feel like myself. I have almost weaned myself completely off the Vicodin and made the switch completely to Ibuprofen. It has been over 24 hours since my last Vicodin and I am really pleased about it. I have been able to get out of the house and become more mobile; which I am so thankful for. My incision is completely healed and surprisingly doesn’t look too bad.

The signs that I am returning to normal is am feeling so cagey and starting to build to-do lists and plan my days. I am also starting to make good use of my days, such as cataloging my CD collection. Now if only the weather would cooperate I would sit out on the deck and get some sun.

Staple Removal

My staples were removed today, yippee! The removal of the staples was fairly simple and only took a few minutes. Overall the removal didn’t hurt and it only stung and pulled on a couple of the staples, but no big deal. Surgeon says I am progressing well and he doesn’t see any issues. All appears to be going well.
