I am discharging from Perth Clinic on saturday and will be flying home to the pilbara on tuesday evening... feeling a bit anxious about leaving my safe little bubble Ive got going on here... was thrown a curve ball this afternoon when I had to change rooms here in the hospital from the one Ive had since I was admitted 15 days ago to a new one on the other floor. Surprised at how anxious that made me feel, burst into tears once I was alone in the new room. Was able to breathe my way through that so I guess that is a positive.... trying to remain upbeat & positive about going home, will try to remember to take it one day at a time...
dear Mrs. Cam, please take it easy, because you have to remember that you are coming out of a controlled environment with nurses on hand 24/7, to back home, and have all the various phone numbers available if you need to contact someone. L Geoff. x
just been to see my boss. am starting back at work next monday. before I went away to Perth I was doing 3 full days each week but I am going to try doing 5 half days now to see how that goes. I think having the routine each morning will be good for me and half days shouldnt be too tiring. am going to be starting at 7:30am which may be a challenge as my night meds make me drowsy and I got in the habit of waking at that time when I was in the clinic but I will give it a go next week and see what happens. did discuss this concern with my boss and she said if I find it too hard then we can change it again so Im quite comfortable with that.
glad i got that over with as i was feeling quite anxious about going in there
Hey MrsCam, it sounds like your kicking some goals..well done mate!! I'm really proud of you..bouncing back, soldiering on & not giving up! You are a champion!! Keep up all this fantasic work!!
first day back at work today, just doing half days at the moment... was quite anxious as I walked over there but once I got started it wasnt too bad... was totally drained and exhausted by the time I got home at half twelve... hope this is going to get easier...
What a huge step. How was everyone with you at work? I hope you got a war welcome back. It's understandable that you would feel exhausted after your first day, with the hours and the anxiousness. I'm sure it will get easier for you. It's good that you're limiting it to half days to ease back into working.
Sounds like a bath and a warm drink should be on the cards for when you get home each day;))
Thanks for your reply. The team were quite welcoming which was nice. They actually organized a surprise lunch yesterday for my bday which was on sat. I thought I was going for lunch with one of the girls and when I got there most of the crew was there. Was a really nice surprise and I think it actually helped relieve some of my anxiety bout going back today....
Took it fairly easy this arvo, was showered and in my pj by 4:45 lol
