Finally!! Back to Work

Well, today was my first day back at work after my ankle surgery on August 4. It's been 10 weeks and I really wanted to get back. The fact that all of my sick leave was gone had something to do with the decision to return today. The doctor says I am going to have discomfort for the next couple of months so unless I want to stay out and additional 10 weeks it was best for me to just suck it up and get back to work.
The day started terrible as I forgot the password to my hand held computer and had to wait around about 45 minutes for a manager to arrive in order to retrieve the password. There was a bunch of out of date food waiting for me as well. For the most part my truck was in pretty good shape except that the passenger door was very hard to open. I think someone may have hit something and bent the door frame. The service sticker was 200o miles overdue.
For the most part it was nice to be back. The other drivers and some of the office staff welcomed me back and seemed glad for my return. My customers too where glad to see me. Thye have not been getting the good quality service I provide over the past few months.
My foot survived the day as well. I got up early in order to massage it and do some stretching. I wore a brace on the ankle too. It felt great the first few hours but later in the day my outer lower part of the foot was bothering me quite a bit. I went to a therapy session and after icing it down the swelling subsided and it felt much better. After work I just need to stay of it as much as I can.
