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

[Cinder & Smoke]

Saw the Doc today.
* Got the Bandage changed.
* Incision looks good.
* No pain -

STILL wants me off it for 6 weeks.
* Pretty adamant about it.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

But I told him I intend to go back to work in 4 weeks ...

Wanna take *bets* on who wins this argument?

A Crutchin she did go ...
A Crutchin she did go ...
Hi-Ho and Merrie-O ...
A Crutchin she Did GOooooo!

Take it from an old lady of experience, Staci. Don't overdo it!! If the doc says 6 weeks, take it. Going back to work always seems okay in your head until you get there. After you're there, it turns into you trying to do more and more and more so your co-workers won't have such a heavy load. I know that's the way I am and I end up regretting it. Take it easy and feel better!! You don't want to re-injure the foot.

Stitches out on Tuesday. Still on crutches for another month.
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!

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!
