Oh my...I am just bursting with excitement right now. I saw the doctor this morning and she has released me back to fully duty work with no restrictions...just requiring accomodations for my disability which are very minor things that won't cost work anything. So I am just extremely excited at the moment. I've sent copies of the release and left messages with the various people involved at work but haven't heard back yet to find out if they will actually be letting me return but until I hear anything negative I am not going to let myself think that way. I have worked so very hard for this and just cannot wait to get back in there.

The rest of the visit went very well too. The doctor and her nurse both told me that I looked a million times better today at my appointment. Stronger, walking faster, just generally looked healthier...it made me feel good because I know that I feel all those things but when you see someone that you haven't seen for a month they can really see the big difference.

The doctor also wrote a script for the TDCS equiptment. She's totally on board with the treatment and we are both excited about it...hoping that it will help me with the pain and sensitivity especially as those are two things that so far we haven't had much success getting under control...more that I have learned to cope with these things enough to allow me to get the function back. Fingers crossed that it all works out well and that the tDCS will just be yet another weapon for me to help fight this RSD monster.

I'll keep you all posted on the returning to work thing...I just really hope that they allow me to come back now that I am released to full duty...they wouldn't let me when I was released for half shifts a month ago. Just that much closer to being able to finally put some of this stuff behind me and continue to move forward with my life.
