Hi all.

I took the week off from posting as I convalesced on the couch. I spent the week moving from the bed to the couch and back to bed.

I was bizarrely surprised at how little pain there was and but how fucking tired I was.

After 6 days of being bored out of my mind I went back to work today.

It felt great to have a reason to wake up, get dressed and go somewhere. It also felt nice to see people again.

The reception I got today was wonderful.

From guests and staff alike. But mostly staff. I genuinely felt as though they missed me. Which has not always been the case at restaurants I’ve managed. Lots of hugs, and expressions of love.

The shift went great no grumpy people. No one yelled at me. No recooks. No unhappy staff. All was good.

Except that by 8:00 I was exhausted. I was super happy to sit down at 9:00.

The only other issue was that I had not had pants on in a week. And turns out my belt sits at the line of scars across my tummy. So they were irritated all day.

And.

I stand up at my desk at work. And the edge of my desk is at the same level as my belt which is the same level as my scars. My tummy was tender when I left.

However.

I have two days off to recuperate and then I’ll be back to it on Wednesday.

Thanks again for the well wishes.

I’ll be back to posting this week.

Missed you all!
