I felt alot better in myself when I went back to work emotionally..... you know that life was slowly getting back to a "normal" routine. I still get headaches if I am tired and a tiny bit shakey...but just think that it will slowly get better and better. I am very proud of you xox hugs shiree Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was planning to sept o8 but had more recoiling, I will get there eventually, when i did go back to visit school (work) it was very scarry and i was so shattered even when i went for 1 hour, so rest up afterwards. Look after yourself Keep up the good WORK excuse to pun LOVE LUCK AND LAUGHTER MICHELLE C XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lynn Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 Congratulations Donna on your return xxxx I went on a phased return 3months after stroke(due to finances), but only for 1hr and gradually increased it to full time after a year. At the beginning it was awful but i definitely needed to gain some normality in my life, for which i was grateful. I was terribly tired at the beginning and even now i feel a whoosh of fatigue come over me!But it does get easier or i just managed to adapt better. I think that what was worse was the panic attacks, feelings of anxiety, which used to knock me sideways. I just used to say excuse me and find somewhere quiet and do my breathing excerecises. I don't get those any more and they dissipated early on. Hope that this helps in some way-I know each of us is different but keep at it!!!!

Janet Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 Hi Donna So glad you're enjoying be back at work and it is quite usual to feel the way you do at the moment. My first couple of months back I felt like that too, constant light headiness and very wobbly on my legs by the end of each shift. Well done you.

Skippy Posted November 9, 2008 Share Posted November 9, 2008 hey Donna I'm so proud of you and how far you have come in the last 7 months - you're doing brilliantly. Don't try to run before you can walk tho. If you're going to do more hours then do it gradually. I'll try and pop over and see you one weekend - can't do it during the week now I'm working elsewhere. Take care hun Love Sami xxx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
