First time in 3 months I've worn tights (or stockings, for sqad), first time I've set an alarm, first time I've properly had to use my brain in 3 months.
Work Dress is now too big - yeh!
Forgot computer passwords - heh!
But everyone so sweet, welcoming, caring and pleased to see me back.
So what did I do when I got home at 1.30 - yeh!
I sat in the garden and cried.
Is this weird? Is this hormones (or lack thereof), or just the milk of human kindness making me emotional?
Just a release of emotions I would think Salla. You are back to normal (well as normal as you can be) after a very stressful period in your life and relief often brings tears.
Many years ago when I had my lung operation I came out of hospital a stone lighter and a dress size smaller after just one week. I could ill afford to lose it at that time though as my starting weight was only 7st 11lb
It's quite an eventful day by anyone's standards! There's no right or wrong after what you've been through, get a glass of something in your hand, enjoy the late afternoon sunshine and enjoy the warmth of the sun on you face!
its only when you go back to '' normal life'' you realise how different things may have been, and so many people will say '' oh you are so lucky'' but the trauma of waiting for results and major surgery are life changing.
I remember when I got back home with my first daughter (47 years ago) I sobbed. I still don't know why I did, emotions (and hormones) are very strange things. It's so nice to know you are improving and getting back to normal. Sending my best wishes to you. xx
I have been through a range of emotions yes, but I do still consider myself lucky. Stage 1c ovarian is lucky. Seriously.
Lucky to be caught that soon, at that stage.
Lucky to be kept under surveillance.
Lucky to be cared for so well.
I didn't know anything about you having major surgery, but it sounds as though you've been through a lot and then a build-up of going back to work. No wonder you needed a bit of stress release. I hope everything goes well now x
Well done on the weight loss Salla, that's fantastic!
I remember feeling similar to you when I returned to work after a long absence with depression. Give it a couple of more days and you'll feel like you've never been away :o)
