Oh I remember my first day back at work. When you say nervous, I totally know how you feel. And to beat all, people from 3 different branches of my work came to welcome me (as if it wasn't hard enough)but that really was so kind of them ( I had been out 6 months and still had a peg tube). They then arranged a luncheon
also. I could only swallow yogurt and liquids at the time. I had
to come up with a very good reason not to go to lunch. I felt so bad, but they all went without me. I went home, had a can of carnation and rushed back to work.

It does get better, but looking back, it was the best thing for me, even if I did get a little tired at first. It took my mind off of my problems for a time every day. I know what you mean by normalcy.

I will be thinking of you - on your first day at school!!
Take care
Debbie
