Hi Sally 
Im not too bad thanks, works been ok and Ive definitely been pacing myself. To be fair theyve kinda wrapped me in cotton wool, not that Im complaining! My duties have been agreed with the manager whos came im in until my manager returns on Monday. This week I have been allowed 9am-2pm with 15 mins for lunch. My duties have been significantly reduced and will gradually increase in next 28 days. so far its been agreed that I shall deal with customer correspondence only, not answer telephones, do reception or custome visists and just focus on paper-pushing and assessing account for litigation. Boring at the best of the times, however Im actually enjoying it a great deal.
The bus journey has been interesting. I left the house at 6:55 on Tuesday to be at work for 9am, and got into Walsall town at 7:15 having gotten to the stop in time for the bus, changed and walked right onto the next bus. i was at work by 7:45.. over an hour earlier than needed. Wednesday however I left the house at 7;15 - got the bus, got to first change, missed it by 2 mins as I couldnt cross due to traffic, then wound up waiting for the next bus which was late! Couldnt get on that one as my ticket didnt cover me on that company so I had to wait further. Got into Walsall town at 8:30am - same journey, route as day before but so much longer! Missed the bus from the town, couldnt really afford to wait the 10 mins for next bus so started walking, got to the last stop before my work and the bus went past me. Got to work at 8:53 and feeling a little bit warm.
I cant believe the time of your LSD has flown and your op date is here. I dont think its the case of not supporting you in this decision, its the not understanding. People always have fear in things they dont get and not knowing. Theyll come round. *hugs* Lifes too short to fall out with folks, and it will all blow over. I had the same thing with some of my friends. In fact the one and I still dont talk as such bc the friendships that strained.
I know your worried and its only natural. I wish you well and look forward to your updates. Youve come a long way, your going to go far and I hope you get to where you want to be.
I survived brother sitting, more to the point we both survived! woohoo! Celebrated it today by taking him to the pub for dinner. I dined out and the food of choice for today was a lighter bites carvery. of course I fed him half of the meat, the yorkshire pudding and everything else id left but I did very well today. Had a good laugh and joke and a mutual friend joined us.
dropped him off at home and then went to our support group meeting. Our Group were on Fat Surgeons on wednesday this week, as we were lucky enough to have a visit from Chris Webber a few months back. I got caught on Camera rubbing my eyes and messing with my glasses and it looks like Im picking my nose! I really wasnt, however it looks like it and a couple of folks from work saw it and were all "didnt tell me u were gonna be on the telly!!" I didnt do anything! Nothing to tell Its all good fun though. Came home from meeting, cleaned up a few things and brother got a chinese and I couldnt help but have a bit. Now I have gut ache. Serves me right! On the other hand my Fortune Cookie message/fortune was interesting.. It reads.. "A Calm Attitude will disarm your enemy.." and even better still it was yummy!
Ok im beat.. been a longgggg one. Going home tomorrow and sleepign the rest of the weekend. Hope everyones well and to speak to u again before Tuesday. For some reason I dont, I wish you well, good luck and congratulate you on your new start x
God bless you
