Congratulations, Syl.

There's nothing like getting back to your normal routine post op - even if it's being able to return to work.  Personally, I was never so glad to go to work in my life  :D

As Wendy said, take it slow and don't overdo.  When I first went back, napping was part of my routine when I returned home, but I was able to phase it out in time.

Be good to yourself and definitely take the vacation - soon!

I don't actually "make" trouble..just kind of attract it, fine tune it, and apply it in new and exciting ways

Hi Syl,

Sorry I brought up the door locks/FOB story. All I really meant was that you were welcomed back to work (even if they did lose your picture somewhere).

I remember it took me a while to get fully back into the swing of work; I was not as sharp or energetic for a while. But it was good to be back at it.

Take care,

Steve

Hearing lasted a while, but left side is deaf now.
Right side is weak too. Life is quiet.
