Preach!!! Healing is going to be your new, temporary job. Then you can switch back to your old job.@RebeccaBoyd :best wishes with your surgery. PLEASE, PLEASE do not push it. IT is bad of your boss to be pushing you (though I understand why) - do not cave and go to work until you are physically in an okay place for that. One wrong twist or stumble and you could do a whole lot of damage. I KNOW you well enough to know you will be going a bit stir crazy BEFORE you are physically ready to go back - even 'just for running the register.' Next thing you know - oh, can you just refill my coffee - oh, Can you just get me a muffin.....yadda, yadda, yadda.
Stay home and snuggle with your chickens, watch the babies and the mommas....get a chaise lounge chair that you can put right outside the silkie pen, and have it adjusted right for reclining.....and watch the adorable and entertaining 'Silkie Chicken TV'
We love you and want you to HEAL properly and completely.
Trust me, I know how hard it is to follow my own advise....just ask Hubby when I had surgery......
Heal first, and heal completely!
