Back To Work

This whole thing took longer than I thought it would. I had an appointment with my neurosurgeon at 10:30 am this morning. That went well. He actually told me I didn't have to go to work if I didn't feel up to it. But at this point, I don't think any physical therapy would really help me any more than just going back to work would.

I got my return to work letter from his nurse. That went fine except their printer didn't want to print at first.

So I got out of there and headed to where I work to check in. It's a normal procedure to do this. The next thing that happened was that my ID badge didn't work to let me in the little security gate. I found out that after 30 days off, they take your ID out of their system. So now I have to get a new ID sometime next week. So I headed off to medical to get my return to work papers. What I found out though, was that due to being out for more than 90 days, I had to be examined by the doctor before they would allow me to come back to work. That went OK also, but it did take longer than I had planned.

After I got that straightened out, I stopped in to chat with a few of the guys I work with. They were all surprised and happy to see me. That made me feel good. They were also surprised I was coming back so soon. I thought...so soon? It's been 4 months guys lol. I lucked out in that it was break time when I was talking to them, so I got to see several of the people I work with.

I got out of there and headed to the grocery store to pick up some lunch supplies. Something I haven't had to do in quite a while. So, here I am at home again and it's only almost 3pm lol.

What a day. I will miss being home and being able to blog at will. I will not be able to do that at work. Even if I had a laptop, I don't think they have Wi-Fi or anything like that. Not to mention I don't have anywhere to put a laptop. I sure wouldn't leave it in the lunch room.

So, it's back to work for me. I start at 6:30 am and get out at 3pm if we work 8 hours. I'll do my blogging when I get home unless I think of something to post before I go to work. That's how my day went. It's been a pretty good one I think. Good news and a restart of a habit for me. Till next time BYE!!
