Question Returning to Work

In the next week or two, I will be starting back at work after a 3 month absence due to PCS. Part of the reason for the return is because there isn't a lot of "proof" to vailidate PCS (even with a Doctor's assessment) and insurance companies and employers are interested more in money than an employee's full recovery. I am a little bitter about that but I am working on changing to have a positive attitude before I go back.

Back to the point...The office I work in can be a little noisy with voices carrying from one end of the building to another and lots of echo sounds. I don't think I'll be working on the computer right away so that's a good thing. I'm wondering if anyone has had any experience going back to work or school after such a long absence???

I'm a little nervous that my symptoms will be worse. I'm also worried that I'm going to give the wrong impression to people - the folks I work with are great and very friendly however I find it hard to concentrate during conversations and haven't socialized since the accident.

Any experiences you could share would be helpful
