Woo hoo I made it back to work

I went back on Monday, barely slept the night or week before for worrying. I went into the office & all was fine. I've been back for 2 days and now had a day away today. I cant believe how easy it was to go back and I am looking forward to going back on Friday

That's awesome! If you'll forgive the Americanism. Glad it was a good experience. Reading that has brought a happy smile to me.

I really thought Iwas never going to make it back. I had been off sick for 5 months and for a long time I could not even leave the house

Glad it is going well - really good for your confidence.

Long may it continue!

Well done! It's never easy going back into work after time off, especially such a long time. Don't overdo it and remember you can ask for help if you need it, so if it feels a strain drop down to four days and take the middle one off for a week or two, it will give you time to recover. Suexx

That's brilliant news. Long may it continue. And take heed of Sue's advice xx

Well done Scooby. Often the fear of something is much greater than the reality. Take it easy though you have been off for some time. Carry on trucking kid! :d

I get another rest day today and it has been perfect. I have taken it very easy and made sure I am listening to my body and not doing too much x
