One benefit of having had a C-section is that lying down is the most uncomfortable thing you can be doing. You can’t really lie on the side, and how much time can a person spend lying strictly on her back without changing the position? So the temptation to stay in bed crying all day long – which is obviously very strong at this point – is impossible to put into practice. You are physically forced to get out of bed, get dressed, and stay out of the bed all day long.
Out of Bed

Well, when processing tragedy, I personally think that sometimes it’s healthy to stay in bed and cry. So I hope you allow yourself some time to do that. That being said, I also think that doing the “little things” like, cooking, putting on makeup, kissing a beloved partner all help immensely. You have a beautiful life and it’s good to remember that. So I’m glad that you are up and moving around. When do you return to the classroom?

Thank you, my friend.
I haven’t had the energy to talk to the HR people yet, so I don’t know when I have to go back to work. I don’t trust them to be extremely sensitive, so I will wait to speak to them. But I still had a major surgery, so I think I will have the usual time that covers it (8 weeks).
