My burn has just about all pealed. It’s back to looking like a bad sunburn instead of something that was deep fried. And it isn’t painful anymore, just sore, like a sunburn. I’m tempted to take a picture of me from the waist up, just to show what I see. All the time. Not just when I get changed. But I think that would be too horrifying to post.
I’m going back to work soon and am sooo looking forward to it. Everyone from my insurance company to the Drs to my family are all telling me not to rush things, take them slow. Some in fact, think I’m crazy to be going back yet but I need to, I’m going nuts sitting around doing nothing. I’ve been doing this for 8 months. True, lots of that time was spent flat on my back and in pain but the times that weren’t were incredibly boring. So I’m going to take their advice and start back part time. Slowly. My body isn’t the way it used to be, it’s been through a war, and it shows, but I have to start getting back to the land of the healthy living instead of being parked in the land of the nearly dead. Yes, I’m anxious and nervous about going back to work, but I’m also excited. My job was a big part of my life and I really do miss it.
