Today started the final 10 HBOs. Took another vac day. It took everythign out of me just going to the HBO. Not sure if I will go tomorrow yet or not, maybe another vac day. I have alot of days I can use, so its ok. Ive already gone back too soon and had a set back so am trying to build myself up alittle before I go back.
The stitches in my mouth bother me and talking isnt easy. People do seem to understand me which was my biggest fear. If I cant talk right, I cant do customer service.
Hope you feel better and lets just chalk this up to being a Monday for both of us.
