Title: Day 4 back at work - failure
Post by: KellyG999 on October 27, 2011, 04:54:02 PM
Hi everyone,

I thought I had been doing pretty well back at work, aside from the terrible fatigue and going to bed at 8:00 PM. Today I struggled all day, in pain all over, cold, tired and with my tummy turning over and over.

Finally at 3:00 I couldn't take it any more and went home. I feel like such a failure. I have to somehow build my stamina back. But, in truth I miss my FMLA time off SOOO much. I could nap whenever, stay bundled up in blankets and jammies, and eat tiny bits through the day.

I even miss my dogs so much while I am away.

(heavy sigh...) :(

Thanks for listening.

Oh Kelly,

I have no words of wisdom only empathy. Is there any way you could go to half time at your work? Or do some work from home and office?
