Thanks all. I think the slight bump in Valium has helped quite a bit. I'm able to get around better, but now my muscles are killing me because I'm actually using them. Good news is he told me I could tweak it as needed and I had a tour of a warehouse facility today so I took slightly more and I ache a little less. Can't take much more until I can get off the Baclofen, though.

BiPAP seems to be working. Only problem is that despite the apnea being moderate, they had to crank the machine up to almost maximum and use a full face mask to get effective results. Everything seems ok except the pressure on the bridge of my nose. I'm trying different types of pads, but will exchange the mask if need be. I think if I can find a good pad that still allows it to seal, I'll be in good shape.

My boss is actually being pretty understanding. He still wants a schedule of which days will be telework days...he doesn't seem to understand the day-to-day nature of this disease. He did seems genuinely concerned about my leave situation and doesn't want me to get into a whole that will take forever to dig out of. He's also given me some projects that I can work on from home.

My glasses, unfortunately, are being redone, which doesn't make things much easier, but I really need to get back to work and show that I can be an asset to the team now that everyone has come back and I'm finally getting projects I'm capable of.

Its a lot to take in, but I think I'm heading in the right direction.
