Thank you for your replies. I may have started teaching a bit too early, but I emotionally needed to get back. I have about a 20 minute drive to work. I am also blessed that I work in a classroom where there are 2 fulltime teachers. So I always have another adult in the room. My co-teacher has been doing most of the full group teaching while I have been mainly working in small group. This way I can sit down and put my head back on my wonderful highback chair. I also have the flexibility to get up and walk around.
I look forward to going back to the OSS on 3/14. I hope that they see some bone growth. I know that I shouldn't be upset if that is not seen on regular x rays.
Well, just a quick note before I get myself ready for the day.
Gentle hugs and good wishes.
