Back to work

My doctor cleared me, so I went back to work today to work half a day. While I am not 100%, I am as closed to no pain as I will be for a while. Unfortunately, my pain probably won't go away for a while, so I can either hurt at home or hurt at work. It was a nice welcome back to work, and thankfully, they eased me into patients today. I survived my first 4 hours back, and while I did have some increases in pain, it wasn't too bad. Hopefully, the rest of the week will go as well as today did. I'll just have to keep doing my exercises and know that one day I will be back to my normal self.
