Speedy is back at work, which is a good thing, but as a result is struggling with tiredness and some pain, which is not.

speedalong, I wish you the very best over the next few days and weeks - it is a huge adjustment to make but I am sure that fellow 'hippies' will be cheering you along the way. Take care, rest when you can, and remember just how far you have come. You are doing OK, girl. Remember to be kind to yourself. DD

    Hi Speedy :D

    I know you've not had it easy going back to work.... and that fall in class came perilously close to potential serious injury. :roll:

    I do hope the coming weeks will be kinder to you... and that the much needed 'aids' will arrive!

    Please take care. :wink:

    Thinking of you...

    strength and (((hugs)))

    Hello Speedy

    I'm thinking about you.

    Hope you have got through today OK.. Just another 2 days until weekend. Take the full dose of painkillers, treat yourself to a nice hot bath tonight and an early night and try and concentrate on other things..

    Dear Speedy

    You have done so very well, post op, returning to work was bound to not be that easy especially with the type of work that you do. Also the hiccup of the fall which must have been such a shock.

    Take care and look after yourself as much as you can. I know you lead a busy life.

    Hugs

    The happiest people don't have the best of everything. They just make the best of everything.

    If you can lay down at night knowing in your heart that you made someone's day just a little bit better, you know you had a good day.

    Hi Speedy
    I hope that the work thing improves, slowly but surely. I hope they let you do things at your pace , and your equipment is helpful (if it has arrived yet??)
    I`m off for my 3rd day of phased return, and can totally understand how hard it is to adapt etc..

    Hello to everyone, thanks for your support and kind wishes. I must be feeling emotional at the mo as you made me cry!

    Am thinking of you all, even though haven't been reading and answering many posts, just have a short supply of "spoons" at the moment.

    Speedy
    I have had OA since mid twenties. It affects my hips and knees. I had a THR on the left aged 30 and now have a resurface-replacement on the right - done May 2010.

    Hi Speedy

    I'll lend you some of my spoons, so long as you give me them back when you've got your bounce back..

    Take care

    Hi Marion and Chris,
    thanks for extra spoons. The TLC and the thought of a day off is helping -feeling more perky this evening. Had fun doing art activity with S to paint spots on a T shirt to wear for Children in Need tomorrow.
    One of our friends is over this evening - she is doing S's bedtime routine and then we will put the world to rights.
