David - As much as I hate to admit it, I know you're right. I was so anxious to get back to "normal," so I went back to work starting with just 4 hours a day, then 6, then 8 over a 3-week period. I'll be seeing my RO tomorrow and will discuss it with her. She probably won't be happy as she didn't want me to go back to work full-time until I put on some more weight. I had dropped down to 98 pounds (lost about 15 pounds). I've put on about 5 pounds with the help of an appetite stimulant. Like I said, I just wanted to be normal again, and going back to work has been really good for me.
