Unhappy Back at work

Hey guys,

I returned to work on Tuesday. Suppose to only work 5 hours, but that's a laugh. My pain is alot worse. Guess I didn't realize how much you have to move your neck at work. Thank God for Lidoderm patches.

My NS will see me again in 6 wks to check for fusion.
Anyway, I'm glad to be back at work. Missed my friends.

God bless,

Psychlea,
I'm glad your well enough to work and it's always good to get back and see your co-workers. Please be careful and don't over do it.

Take care,

Hey Lea, glad to read that you are back working again. Take care of yourself and don't work too hard. As for me, went to the neuro today, he said no work through July 21st, after I see the PM again. Oh well, looks like more cartoons with the little one

Take care, ya hear? Jasmine

I wish I could stay home and watch cartoons

Good thing my job does not entail any lifting, but sitting on the phone and computer all day is killing me! My nerve pain is back in full swing. May have to call NS office. I can't take off anymore work. Husb lost his job and I am out of sick time
