Thanks Bonny. I think that's some of what I have been saying in my earlier posts. For me it's about me not making contact but repsonding politely if contact is made. If I never reply then that's what I'll get in return. And I've been there and don't want to go there again!
Hey Cas I think that there are some valid points above - particularly, I understand what JCJ is saying about Stages 1 and 2, which has helped me to understand that we are all at different stages, even though we are trying to help our buddies as best we can!
Anyway, just popped in to say hi and see how you were going!

Nothing to report. Adjusting to work is challenging...getting tired. have to pull back a little. Developing a sore throat. Oh no. Haven't replied and don't feel the urgency to but think I will over the weekend just to be polite.
Make sure you take it easy Cas, it takes time to adjust to being back at work and you don't want to overdo it and get sick, so take extra care of yourself.
Hi Cas Do watch out for yourself ... people often get sick after returning to work as they have become desensitised to the bugs that they live with routinely at work. Your immunity will have taken a bashing lately, I'm sure (what with surgery and stress) so build up a healthy diet or consider some supplements short term - vitamins.

Yes Cas, Nell is right, it happened to me when I went back after the heart surgery, I went back a bit to early and then ended up having to have more time off. So please do really take extra good care of yourself.
Here I am! Day 12 and still nothing to report. Kids met with H last night and S said he was in fine form...all happy and over the conflict he had with S. It's like he completely loses it and then everything is ok again.
Been quiet cos I was feeling a little unwell with a sore throat and cough....coughing not too easy with a hip to hip abdo wound! Bit sore today. No work today at my bosses insistence. S has got me 'Slumdog Millionaire' to watch which I had intended on seeing so long ago but just never got around to it.
Day 12 eh ..? Well done you. I know how difficult it is but you are doing a grand job!!
Sorry that you are feeling crook ... little tip with the coughing. Get a cushion and hold it over your abdo, press down on it (as much as you can bare) when you need to cough. Should help a bit.
Good that your boss is sensible and enforced a day at home - sounds like you need it! Make sure that you take a cushion with you, to work too!!
Keep going Cas - you are in my sights and I am anxious to know what happens next.
