Hey  Kimber,

Third, I am so proud of you Kimber for what you have accomplished in just one

week! Now if you get the rest perhaps that you so deserve that would be

wonderful I would think? I wish you an easier week from now on.

Keep strong girls,

Subject: first week back at work

 

Hi All,

Well today was a full week back at work and amazingly enought I only worked 49

hours so it wasn't too bad. I have held fast to the " limited duties " and have

actually said the word " no " a few times, my doctors and managers are still

alitlle shocked to hear me tell them no but they are understanding better than I

had thought they would. As usual we had several nurses out and I had to pull

triple duty one day, but I talked to the practice administrator that night and

she promised if it got beyond double duty again she would call in a temp so I

didn't push myself too far again.

My youngest daughter also graduated from High School  this weekend and I had her

graduation party, the mthen  so it has been a very full 10 days. Sadly, my temp

has started back after just 1 week of work but since I didn't rest any over the

weekend my rheumy says we will keep an eye on it for a week and see if I need to

double up on some meds or go back on disability if it dosen't level back out

after a week or two. In the mean time if I am not at work I am to be in bed or

layng on the couch (most of you know how much I hate those words)

On a brighter note, my patients are very happy that I am back at work and I have

been getting all kinds of goodies all week from them and that makes everything I

have gone through to get back to work worth it, just to know that I was missed

and that I make a difference in their lives.... I am so much happier back in my

element than I ever was at home....just hoping the fever isn't sticking around

again, because if I have to go bacl out again so soon I will have to go to plan

B and see if I can get a jpb teaching in a nursing program.

Hugs to all,

   Kimberlee
