Back to reality

Today was my first day back at work since the surgery. It wasn't as awful as I had been dreading early this week. It was good to see people again, and everybody was pretty happy about my news from the surgery. I might be able to get moved out of the "isolation chamber" back into the newsroom for awhile, since I won't have any treatment for several weeks and my blood counts are good. Of course, as it gets later into December, I'll have to be more careful about being around anyone who's got a cold or something catching. But if I can get back into the newsroom for at least a few weeks, I think that will help my outlook quite a bit.
