Better Days

As down as I have been, there are better days.  I am hopeful and confident I will return to work after the installation of the pump, the complications of surgery, and having been on short term disability for the past 5 weeks.  Its been hard, but I am getting stronger.  Walking over a 1,000 steps some days.  Not at once mind you, but moving.  It is often a struggle, but I am walking more now.  I use my scooter rarely at home.  I have had tons of help from my mom and husband.  In fact I haven't been truly alone for more than an hour since the surgery.  I love alone time and it is coming again, that day where I won't be worried to be by myself.  I think two weeks and I can  jump back into work.  My  Neurologist says don't worry.  He is confident that it will get better.  So, today I feel not too bad emotionally or physically.  Who knows  what tomorrow will bring.  I have some hope today.
