Well today was my last day of freedom, I can't say I'm totally happy about returning to work but its time nonetheless!!!😂 I've been shielding this time round as CEV since xmas eve and then my op was offered so I had my elbow release surgery on 8th April. I need the social interaction tbh, I have forgotten what its like to be at work. My elbow is healing well but driving proves a bit of a challenge, time is a healer as they say. My skin has flared up but im probably a little worried about the changes at work and also if people say "it's alright for you, you have had both jabs"anyway I've just got to remain calm and carry on. I must admit I'd sooner not have my autoimmune disease and be further down the list for a jab😂 I've snacked far too much so my skirt is very snug and the trousers don't have much give either!! Oh dear more walking required and less of the sweet stuff! Hope everyone is okay x🌸
back to reality.... it's time to return to work (off ... - NRAS

Good luck, it will feel strange but if you are unhappy chat with your boss. Good luck xxx
Hope everything goes well for you tomorrow, take care and sending my best wishes to you xx
Hope it goes well. The pounds will drop off when you’re no longer at home! Don’t take any nonsense at work...it is just a job 😉
Made me laugh about getting your jab early. I phoned to book a physio appointment this week and they always ask all the usual Covid questions. I mentioned that I’d just had my second jab. The receptionist said “Oooh you’re lucky being so young and having had it already.” She was mortified when I explained why 😂 x
yeah we are so lucky 😂but saying that I am really cause I keep very well on the MTX and there are alot of people worse off than me. I live in hope that the pounds will drop off, they jolly well need to!! This girl has let herself go!!😨x
I can no longer take MTX. sadly. I would love to be ble to go to work, and i am sure you don't want the attention, but i afraid your going to get it darling and enjoy it as it won't last long. lol. xxxx
sylvi you are so cute, how are you doing both of you now? xx
I am in a flare darling with my ra and i have a infection t boot. xxxxx
Hope today goes well, do they expect you to bring the cakes in for first day back🤣
Bet you'll be tired later x
Hope it goes well today - do let us know how you get on x
today went well btw, I was only in for a few hours, everyone was so kind and pleased to see me x
Good, I’m glad it went well for you. May i ask, did you feel safe? x
Good luck .. it’s such a shock to the system. I was absolutely shattered the first 2 weeks x

thanks, at least I've got the weekend but the fun starts next week. I'm on an old contract so I don't work weekends, yay x
Best of luck on your return to work. Don’t forget you are allowed reasonable adjustments to help you. Don’t throw yourself into it slow and steady wins the rest
thanks very much, its been such a long time x
Hi Flor1rence. I've just seen your post so I hope today is going as well as it can and that you don't feel too tired when you get home (that's a bit of a tall order I suppose 😁). All the best. xx
thank you springcross I've survived 😂and been very careful, no lifting. Put some screenwash in the car as it had just run out today, unusual for me for letting it get that low! How are you? x
Not too bad thanks Flor1rence, glad I don't have to go to work. Do you live far from your workplace?
I've travelled quite a distance in the past but atm I'm about 3 miles so I drive the busy roads then park up for free and walk in about 1 and 1/4 miles but today I treated myself to the car park, we do get a concession but it would still cost £104 per month instead of £208 approx. x
yes that goes towards my petrol cause I have to get Mums shopping at the weekend, my Dad did it right up until he loss the use of his legs and she's been on her own now for nearly 3 years. My sister is amazing she goes to see Mum every day apart from Tuesday when my brother pops in after work. x
yes and we were close to losing her 6 months before Dad passed as her heart failed 3 times but she has a pacemaker and keeps going, I call her every day😊x
I hope all went okay for you lovely with returning to work. You are my inspiration for when the time comes for me to return to work soon. Not for a couple of months yet I don’t think and will do what I can to build my confidence back up again before that day arrives for me. Lots of gentle hugs and much love ❤️ xx
thank you for your kind words. you need to feel much better before you think about returning to work. I have missed it, I felt very tired this morning but I managed mums shopping with my sister and I put it all away for her, we had lunch then I left to collect something from Next on way back, the weather has been terrible today. A quiet evening indoors, lovely😉xx
