So, how was your first week back at work?

Going back to work was hard at first. The fatigue would always set in after 3-4 hours. I decided to do part time for a while and then eventually went full time. Best of luck to you! Don't push yourself to hard:)

Hi everyone!
The first week wasn't too bad, the first day I got a headache, but the rest of the days weren't too bad. My work sure didn't hold back on starting me right back into it all. All in all it went pretty well though and I guess I'm happy to be back in a routine.
