It's official now - I am a full time worker. I had my doctor sign a release stating I can work full time without restrictions. That was faxed to John Deere and now I'm a "normal" worker.
My single biggest concern about going full time was getting up and getting around in the morning. It had been so difficult to get over the fatigue after getting out of bed, but that had improved much the past few weeks. For a while I was having to eat as soon as I got up, then eat again an hour or so later. I've gotten over that, too. Vicki has been fixing me good breakfasts that I eat after I get ready to go.
I have actually gotten up and been to work early 2 days this week. It's still not easy getting out of bed, but it never has been for me. As my Dad used to say, "There ought to be a better way to start the day than getting up!" I'm pretty well back to my old "get ready for work" routine, except I'm not drinking coffee. Well, I had a tiny bit this morning. It seems like the caffeine really affects me and gives me the shakes.
Working full days hasn't been difficult. I've been busy and time doesn't seem to drag as much as it did when I was only working part time. Maybe it's because I'm more in rhythm with the workplace. I haven't really felt tired until I get home, but at least I feel like I have a reason to feel tired.
