back to work
« on: March 25, 2015, 06:42:54 pm »
I started back to work ..first week 60 hours.. I knew I would have to be on my A game.. (and I was).. I feel great, no headaches at all and I have the energy I haven't had in a long time..I never realized how crappy I felt before the surgery, and realize how great I feel now!!! I don't look back, only forward and I wouldn't have changed a thing..I wish everyone a smooth recovery and to get back on their feet:) goodluck

All work and no play makes MMusella a dull boy (girl?).  Haha, I'm sure you will find time for play after you get over the giddiness at being able to work a 60 hour week.

Congratulations!  It's great to read that some people do just fine after surgery, in fact, as you say a lot better afterwards.  Hopefully future board members come across your post so they will be encouraged by how well things went for you.  I too hope that you back off the work a bit after a while so you can enjoy having fun and feeling good too!  Take Care, Jill 8)

Awesome news!! I was happy to see your update every few weeks- maybe I will do the same after my surgery next week! I did hear from my doctors that people with larger tumors (2.5cm +) do tend to recover better and more quickly since their body has already compensated as the tumor grew for so many years without us knowing!! Good luck with your continued recovery.

Michelle, this is the best news and I'm so happy for you!  I made my first bakery delivery this morning, and although I'm only making my quiches for a local restaurant, I am sure I will be baking more as soon as my vestibular therapy starts kicking my lazy good nerve to compensate for my missing nerve.  Wouldn't you know I'd get a lazy nerve?  I'll catch-up to you!  I hope you stay active on the forum.

Be well,
Michelle (Mimi)
