[Photos from Wednesday 9 March 2016, posted online 10 March 2016. \u00a0It’s good to feel on top of things for five minutes.<\/em>]<\/p>\n

I’m back at work!!! \u00a0(Well, mostly.)<\/p>\n

I decided I was getting good enough at sitting up, with my leg extended on a chair, to start showing up to work last week. \u00a0My first day back was Wednesday 2 March, and I stayed pretty much the whole day (talking to people is fun!), but then left early both Thursday and Friday.<\/p>\n

I must give major kudos to my company\u00a0(Marel<\/a>) for kindly offering to\u00a0pay for a taxi to drive me home for up to two weeks, while I (literally) get back on my feet, and rebuild some mental stamina. \u00a0This means I’ve been able to check out early if I need to, without impacting Finnur’s work hours too much. \u00a0(He’s still driving me to work, it’ll be a few more weeks before I trust myself to drive.)<\/p>\n

All in all it’s gone pretty well. \u00a0It’s given me a reason to move about more, which is a good thing, and I can feel that my leg is getting much better at pumping blood. \u00a0I think I may have stayed upright for some 15 minutes a couple of times today, without feeling too much pressure, which is a huge improvement over last week!

\"To<\/a>

To document the one week anniversary of me returning to work, I had Finnur take a photo of me outside Marel. Those white things on the ground\u00a0are salt-bits.<\/p><\/div><\/p>\n

\"While<\/a>

While I was away for SEVEN weeks (!!!), the whole cafeteria got doubled in size, redesigned, and rebuilt. Now it sports a lot of matte blacks and wood, as well as a firepit (!!!), and lots of different types of chairs, and seating areas. It’s a huge improvement over the drab place it used to be. \u00a0I suspect\u00a0I’ll be spending a lot of time there, once I can easily transport my laptop around.<\/p><\/div>\n

\"Just<\/a>

Just a photo of the decorative shelves, as I was waiting for a friend to bring a cup of mocha. You can see the edge of the firepit there on the left. \u00a0<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
