so on Monday I return to work full time as a teacher and I an sure that physically all will be well - it is a modern building, we have lifts, I will park in a disabled space, I will have a technician with me in my textiles classes and the kids will be great (just releived not to have a supply teacher!) BUT my brain has turned to mush - all i think about is not bending or twisting, walking upright ,finding my grabber and sock putter onner, I chant as i go up and down stairs, looking at what I write on this forum I know I have lost my marbles - how have other people hidden this side effect on returning to work?

    Dear Valerie,

    All our brains go to mush after anesthesia, pain pills, our required inner focus on healing, the weeks of hard work, physical weakness and a quietness to our lives and then we step out into the world again and into what I call "Sensory Overload" and it may take days or a week or two to be back on top of your work life.

    You are not alone and I wish you the best!
