They say you should be careful what you wish for don't they?
After all my tears and frustrations about not being at work (recap - fractured shoulder) for 6 weeks, I went back to work for a few hours this week.
I can't believe how foreign it felt - it was as if I had been gone a year! I was almost disorientated and felt completely lost. It was all a little overwhelming really, and I don't get flustered or emotional easily.
I suppose there is a little emotional healing required too. My colleagues were all wonderful, but I imagine that my expectations were too high - I simply cannot just slip (no pun intended) into the same high heel shoes and act if everything is the same I suppose. I came home after only 3 hours and burst into tears just inside the door.
So many lessons to learn from a simple lettuce leaf on the floor.....

Glad i read this, it isn't just me!
Due to ill health I have been off work since March. Last week I went in for 30 minutes and felt VERY strange!
I cried all the way home, I had been there 4 years and am scared I won't fit back in
