back to work

By Becky H Saturday, November 06, 2010

I had some computer problems  so I haven't been able to write on my blog. I went back to work again.( been about 2 months now) I'm only working four hours a day still. It's going okay. When the cold weather hit I had bad pain in my hips  called my rheumatologist he gave me a steroid (METHYLPREDNISOLONE 4 MG DOSPAK) that seems have helped already and I have just been taking it for three days so far.  I only take it for one week so I feel confident that it will help me. I go back to see my rheumatologist again on November 16. I think he may let me return to work full-time. I am working on having my rheumatologist fill out the papers I need for my FMLA  For when I return to work full-time again.  I went on scrap booking weekend with some friends a few weeks ago. I did really well we stayed at a hotel ,our room had a large overstuffed chair with ottoman so I would go up there for a few hours stretch out and rest. They also had a heated pool so I did that too!   I also got a massage there that  weekend!

welcome back! is nice to see on the site again. It sure sounds like a wonderful weekend - it so important to take good care of ourselves and so few of us take the time. Thanks for the reminder.
