Finding a 'new normal'

You might be interested in this blog about somebody recovering from cancer surgery (not oesophageal, but there are many issues in common) coming to terms with getting back to work, and then with less work.

This was me exactly, and having had a fall resulting in a broken wrist I was wondering why I wasn't so desperate to get bsck to work after the broken wrist, which compared with iesophageal cancer is really trivial. This blog explains it so clearly.

I have decided to continue working for now, but at a sensible pace rather than 100 miles an hour-after all thT was why I fell in the first place!!!

I to had to give up work. Being a peripatetic school cook I often had a long drive to work. I also found I couldn't do the lifting of heavy cooking equipment. My husband had taken early retirement before I had my op so he was at home to help with my recovery. We have since seen the birth of 4 grandchildren to our son and daughter and we are able to visit them when we want to.

I'm all for enjoying life and making the most of my second chance!!
