Even though the swelling is not done with, I decided to get back to work ! Its closing on 4 weeks since the surgery.
Body has recovered, I can talk on many phone calls. Morning jogging started.
So, why not give mind some respite and get back to work any way ?
That was the thought ! Also, being in this industry, I do not have to go any where with this face. I can work all I want from my home.
So, back to work finally ! 4th week post surgery.
Before I went on to surgery, I reached out to all the the smokers and tobacco users I knew at work, and sincerely asked them to quit.
Well in my pep-talk it was worded like this, "Guys ! When I come back, if I see any of you using tobacco, I will Kill You before tobacco does. Trust me, it will be a much better, easier and less painful death" !
Getting back to work, on-line - A lot of those people I pinged, and followed up. Asked them if they have been off smoking / chewing. They asked me my welfare, more over they have been going through the blog staying informed.
And one thing I heard unanimously from all of them, "Don't make it look so easy !! Dealing with cancer, surgery and all. The fear and closeness of the cancer attack, is helping us get over our habits. And if you make it look so easy, as if it is just a viral fever that takes you off for couple of weeks, then it would not do good to our resolve to stay off" !!
What a problem to deal with ? :) Yeah - will send them some gory pictures of the surgery, post-op days and the reports !! That will not make it look easy for sure....
