Prayers for Staci ~ *Screw's OUT* on 10/30/07 ~ Let the HEALING Begin!

Stitches out on Tuesday. Still on crutches for another month. :rolleyes:
Going back to work with restrictions on the 26th. Which means that they couldn't find any place for me in the rest of the hospital but my department agreed to be able to use me. I originally had thought I would be working day shift but I'll actually be working 3-7pm everyday, and a health fair on a Saturday. I don't care I'll take it! the 4 hours will help me transition into working full days I think - I've been off so long I am sure I'll be worn out going back to work!!
So that's my update! :)

It's so good to hear that the pain is going away, yeah! This really turned into quite an ordeal. Still sending you lots of prayers & healing vibes :D ...a big ole belly rub for the BRD!

Hey honey,

GREAT news that you get to return to work in a way that you'll be able to ease into it. I know docs have thier 'by the book rules', but you know your body more than anyone else...do what YOU feel is right.

I wish you lots of luck and will be praying when you go back to work on the 26th. :)

Hugs,
Kelly :)

XOXOXOXOX

Poor Baby!

We should all send a Prayer that Miz Staci has a quiet and pain-free
"First Day back at WORK" on Monday - (Monday, November 26, 2007).

Hopefully the Hospital will find something challenging to the mind but not the body -
'specially da FOOT. ;)

Have a GOOD Day on Monday, Staci!

{{{Huggers}}}

Good to hear your foot is getting better, good luck 'easing' back into work! :)

thanks! :)
I'm starting out slow, only 4 hours a day for the first couple weeks.

choc puppy - I LOL'ed at your siggie! :D

Tis Monday, November 26, 2007 ... Staci's First Day back to Work ...

Did'ja make it back home in one piece?
How'd the day go?

Flop in a chair, rest da Foot ... and tell us all about it!

well it was uneventful.
Lots of "oh your BACK!" and "Hey stranger(s)".
I did paperwork that needs to be done but sometimes you are just too busy for it. It wasn't real busy for me but that's ok.
:)
Seeing Dr tomorrow. Will find out what HE thinks... :eek:

So it was your first day back at work hu?

I was just thinking about you last night and wondering when you would be going back.
Are you doing a desk job for now or back on your regular job?

Let us know what the doc says!

:) Well its probably a good thing all was quiet. How did your foot feel at the end of the day?

Thanks! :)
Well, saw the dr today and the xray I had taken last week is showing healing on the top and side but when you look at the side view it isn't really. :rolleyes:
So he told me light duty for another 4 weeks and told him no way!
(smoke crack much?) b/c I have to be up and full time in 3 weeks and that means off crutches. And I'm in a wedding on Dec 29th and that means NO crutches!! It's ridiculous that this has taken this long.
0 I told him the Ortho said I should stay off it for 2-3 weeks and then go about my life. He didn't like me bringing that up.. :mad: But handled it well. Said that sometimes these kind of fractures are underestimated.
So basically I'm going to be light duty with light weight bearing for 3 more weeks and then working my way OFF the crutches.
Another xray and see him in a month.....
