Back at Work

Today I went back to work. I only worked four hours and only saw 3 patients, but hey, it is progress.

Of course, when I finally go back to work, Henry had to be a little sick. 2 days ago he had bilateral pink eye and stayed home for that, then that night he had a croupy cough but was breathing okay, and last night had a fever What a boy! He is doing pretty good now and has liked his mini vacation from school even if it means a little coughing.  It just made it harder for me to leave him.

Frances has been very clingy to me since I came back from the hospital. I figure right now I have a 50% chance of using the restroom alone.  I was a little worried she wouldn't take the transition well, but she did fine today.

Two days ago I went to the nurse practioner for a check up and she was happy with the progress my wound had made.  Aaron still needs to dress it two times a day, but now only needs to do so for a week. She also said it was fine for me to go back to work. I am starting part time because I might not be able to multitask well and I will be more tired than normal. Today I really didn't have the opportunity to multitask, but I can admit to being a little more tired than normal. I went home and rested a little, and then I was fine.

It feels good to be acting a little more normal.
