So tomorrow I try going back to work for 3 mornings a week. To say I'm dreading it is a massive understatement. My lovely husband has said "go try it, if you feel miserable or stressed, then leave - life is too short" and I love him for it. I know lots of changes have taken place since I was last behind my desk, none of them are positive for me as I will be doing all the bits I hated about my job, none of the things I did like and am going to be given bits I know I will find stressful.
I also have a blood test tomorrow with my GP to check on my platelets etc - should get the results on Friday. I'm still suffering the random bone/muscle pains and am finding that my daily walk is making me more tired than it was a couple of weeks ago. I'm trying hard to stay positive and not fear the worst but it is hard.
Short post today just to try and empty my mind a bit, then maybe I might sleep more than an hour at a time...I wish I could remember what it's like to go to bed, go to sleep and wake up with the alarm!
