After a long time I had to stay at home and after my shoulder surgery I felt fine enough to go back to work this week. I have a special program set up by my doctor that I can start halftime for two weeks, then 3/4 for another two weeks before I go back to my fulltime job.
Nice plan, uh?
So see what happened Monday morning right after I got up: I wanted to feed my cat and moved my arm to reach out for the cup as a loud crack in my shoulder was heard followed by a strong pain. I thought I was in a bad dream! Must it happen just the day I want to go back to work?!? I had troubles to take a shower and to get dressed, but after ten weeks at home I "desperately" wanted to go back to work. I did. But it was not such a good idea.
I went home around noon and saw my doctor yesterday, who gave me another doctor's note to stay at home.
I already have an appointment to see the doctor (who made the surgery) next week on Monday morning.
The rest of the day (Monday) I was really frustrated and I really do not know the reason (for me it doesn't make sense), but I know that God is in control and there must be a reason. I just can't see it now. So beside the pain (which is stronger now than before my surgery 3 weeks ago) I feel ok. And I am so grateful for the great colleagues I have, who call me, support me and try to cheer me up!
