Thanks Charm. This is very reassuring as I continue to heal. I started back to work this week and the trapezious pain doesn't seem to be as much a factor as the sheer exhaustion. I come home hungry and tired every day and take a little nap to keep my energy level high, but I am not looking forward to working during radiation tx next 6 weeks. I am looking into completing an FMLA and taking off the month of May. Sad for my seniors, but they will understand. My long term substitute is awesome and they love her, so it won't be so bad. I will play it by ear, but after reading some stories, it sounds like I will be even more tired than normal. I also sound a little like my severe special ed kids, and although no one says so, my speech is not good yet.
