Back to work tomorrow

[Guest guest]

Hi everyone

I am returning to work tomorrow, and would like to thank everyone here for

their wonderful advice, support, friendship,humour and inspiration over the 12

weeks since my operation. This group has been a huge support network for me and

I have enjoyed reading all the terrific messages.

My journey towards this operation began with incredible pain 4 years ago after

an injury on a school camp and after much soul searching and rapidly diminishing

ability to lead a " normal " life, I made the huge decision to have a BHR. My

surgeon and surgical team were absolutely superb and with the confidence they

instilled in me, and with my pre op research which wasnt vast, just the basics,

I underwent surgery late in April. In many ways, I really had little idea of

what to expect but knew I would be well looked after in hospital. I chose to

stay a week in hospital, knowing that I would be pertty well on my own when I

came home. Getting wireless networking setup on my laptop was sensational and

gave me freedom to keep in touch with the world, in particuar, this support

group.

Tomorrow I return to full time Primary school teaching so will be on my feet all

day every day. In many ways I am looking forward to it, especially to working

with my delightful 10 year old students again, and I finally feel physically

ready to return to work. It is 11 weeks since my op so let's hope I can manage

both physically and mentally. Mine is a very senior position so there will be no

let up even for lunch breaks. Hmmmm.

I will probably not have the time to read and respond to messages but wish

everyone all the best, in their decision making, for the operation, and in

their recovery.

Once again, this is a terrific group and hopefully I can check in every so

often.

My regular email address is

and I'd be more than happy to respond to emails, esp for people in Australia

seeking information.
