I’m at work right now… blogging. So today was my first day back to work. It’s weird because it feels like I’ve been gone forever, but everything is still the same. I met with my new staff and old teammates to get caught up. While I was gone, my work email account went over quota so I could not send any emails. It took me several hours to go through three months of unread emails and delete enough stuff so I’m under quota again. Security also did not turn on my badge so I could not get in the building initially. Unlike last time, a quick phone call to HR to confirm my leave status and I was back to normal.
Physically I felt fine. The drive was not too bad and none of the surgery sites hurt too much. Since I have dialysis tomorrow, I have to take a day off and continue work tasks Friday. I’m probably eating and drinking more since there are several cafeterias and free fountain drinks at work so getting food is very convenient. Got to be careful not to gain back all the weight I lost during recovery.
First thing I have to do is put my dialysis times on my calendar so no one tries to schedule a meeting during those times.
