Well, finished my first week back at work. Things have changed
somewhat and I’m getting back into things albeit slowly. So far, it’s
gone okay, although I will have some catching up to do. All my
co-workers have been great in welcoming me back and have been really
accommodating of which I am grateful for. As my company moved to a brand new location during my leave of absence, I had to unpack my things. Before doing this, one of my bosses took me around to reacquaint myself with everyone and to meet my new colleagues. It did feel like being a new employee.
For the most part, it was okay. As I expected, my concentration and focus has not returned to where they were. Again, it was expected, but still disappointing nonetheless. Also, on Tuesday and Wednesday, my simple partial seizures picked up again after several days of them being kept in check. The seizure activity towards the
end of the day, especially on Wednesday, kind of put me out of it. I’m not
sure what the cause for the breakthroughs might be. I don’t think I’ve
been overexerting myself, but who knows with the brain, it is much too
complex for me. It had been going relatively okay the several days
before Tuesday regarding the seizures, but it seems like another
breakthrough *sigh* Thursday and Friday were a bit better in that my simple partial seizures did not completely take me out of it, but just the simple fact they were there was disappointing. I may have to cut back my hours a bit and try to find that balance.
On Tuesday, I realized that it was basically this week a year ago
when everything all started (i.e., the body aches, then stomach and headaches, then headaches, then ER, then CT scan, then MRI, then tumor discovery) and today marks my one year
tumorversary. Hoping this year will be better than last...
