Back to work...
Today was my first day back. I was welcomed by many co-workers (some who didn't know about the accident) and given a lot of "motherly love" from my office-mates. It is hard to be back... kind of fearing that first real commute back home. In talking to a co-worker, I realized that this took a real toll on me physically and mentally.
I am sure that Damoomoo is already sick of me complaining of all my aches and pains, but this has put a strain in a lot of other things. Our bed was too uncomfortable for me to sleep, plus it was harder to ask for things like water and food, so I opted to stay on the couch for the most part. Which I am sure left Damoomoo pretty uncomfortable. So "thank you" for sticking this out with me!
We are also down one car for at least 3 weeks! This will make it especially hard because the boys start school on Thursday, and we don't live that close to work/school. So, I'll be back behind the wheel of the van (which I am not so comfortable driving in the first place!)
Now physically, I am feeling some strains and aches in shoulders and back, but I can move my neck around. Have some physical therapy ahead of me... My PT said that my reflexes on my right side are a bit dull compared to the right. I think I'm going to have bruises where he was hitting me with that red rubber hammer!
Mentally, it is still haunting me... seeing the events over and over in my head... and hopefully writing will be just the right therapy for me...
Did you know that I was hit by a car my Junior year in High School while crossing the street? And to this day I am still fearful/hesitant to cross the street!
