First day back @ work (redux)

First, let me say that I work with some of the most awesome people in the world. From the time I arrived until the time I left everyone in the office was asking how they could help, if I needed anything, welcome backs, and just all around best wishes. Thanks to the entire office team!!

The day went better than I anticipated. The toughest part of the day was having to get from point A to point B on crutches. One definitely gets a new perspective trying to carry out daily activities while using crutches. Getting around the house was relatively easy but today was a different story. Even though my wonderful wife drove me to work this morning that simple little walk from the front drive of our companies campus to my office was quite a chore. I was completely drained by the time I got to my office. The only time I had to venture out was restroom breaks and our departmental meeting.

I have a new found respect for anyone that deals with modern America with permanent disablities! From getting through doors on self closing hinges to negotiating narrow passages within the work environment the day was an eye opening experience.
