First week back to work

Mar 02, 2012

Wow! What a week it has been.  I went back to work three weeks after my surgery and it was kinda tough the first couple days.  I was sore on Tuesday but it got better.  One of the kids (I'm a teacher) ran up to me, slammed into me, and gave me a squeeze and I almost passed out.  That's the day I called the Dr to see what kind of pain meds I could be taking besides the rough stuff they gave me.  The kid felt bad, I knew he hadn't meant to, but goodness. 
Eating lunch with my coworkers has been less difficult than I thought.  I have had to turn away birthday cupcakes from past students who offer extras to their favorite teachers (always me hahah) but today was the hardest.  Our school had some consultants came and for a measurement activity the students made a snack mix with coco puffs, m&ms, marshmallows, and pretzels- I helped the kids make them, but didn't eat a bite.  THEN our lunch was catered by the local pizza place, and instead of being able to stay far from the temptation, we had a working lunch and I had to sit and eat my 4 ounces of chicken while my coworkers loved some pizza, breadsticks (my fav) and some salad.  I did pick two tomato slices (which Im allowed to have) off the salad... but I was a good girl and did what I was supposed to.  It was hard though.
