Re: week 5 and i'm full of fear and anxiety about returning back to work
I went back to work yesterday. I also am using public transpotation. I was very worried about all of the walking. I walked about 4.5 miles yesterday. I was very tired when I got home but I made it. You will to. I think we women always manage to do what we have to regardless. It will get easier. Today the walk isn't as bad.

Re: week 5 and i'm full of fear and anxiety about returning back to work
Hi, newhope. my surgery was in November and i returned to work after 6 weeks - i, too, was DREADING it! i also commute via public transportaion (subway and commuter train) and for my first week back, my supervisor allowed me to come in an hour late and leave an hour early - thus avoiding the really heavy traffic of peak commuting hours. that helped me a lot - perhaps your supervisor would consider the same?
also, it didn't end up being as bad as i thought. i was tired (and even now, two months later, i am tired at the end of the day), but i got through it, and so will you! as far as dealing w/other people and their questions - most of them didn't have the guts to ask me what the issue was. they'd all heard i had surgery and when i got back they all said they hoped i was feeling well and that was that. a lot of people will be (rightfully) too embarassed to ask.
