Back to work – er, maybe not

So I went back to work today, I was feeling OK besides the discomfort around my bellybutton and incisions. I was about half way on my drive there and I started feeling dizzy. I couldn’t believe it! Why would I be feeling dizzy almost 1 week after surgery was beyond me. I took deep breaths and tried to calm myself down, thinking I was going to have a panic attack. I finally made it to the office, my hands were cold and I was sweating like mad.

I talked to some people, checked with my manager if everything was OK, he asked about the surgery and bla bla bla. I started catching up with my emails and started feeling dizzy again. I called the doctor’s office.

The nurse called me back and told me to go home, or better yet, have my husband come and pick me up. She said that I was feeling like this because of the surgery and that it is fairly normal, even that it was almost one week later. She said my doctor wants me to stay at home until Monday and take it slow. Oh well. At least it wasn’t a panick attack.
