First day back and it felt really good...and really painful. I think the big thing for me will be finding that balance between managing out on the salesfloor and taking time in the office to prep for my time on the salesfloor. I feel bad because the one thing I KNOW I can't do is run the front end of the store and be up there for 4-6 hours without taking a break. That's just not possible. But I am in charge of childrens, footwear, and all of home in our store. I really believe that I can run those departments and manage my people and keep an eye on the store to keep it running. It will take time to find that balance. All I want is for my boss and my peers to understand what I am going through and to understand that I need that balance in order to do my job. Hopefully with continue physical therapy and the adjustment of the meds and the use of the TENS unit I will be able to control the pain and gain more mobility than I have at the moment. But it will be a long road.
