Today was my first time back at work. My dad helped me out by bringing a stool, pillow, and then left. He packed up and took off around 10 a.m. for St. Louis. Swung by before he left, and I cried. I hate being emotional at work, but I'm a yellow personality and I wear my emotions on my sleeve. I love my dad so freaking much, and it broke my heart to see him go.
I was uncomfortable all day. I'm not used to sitting upright in a chair like that all day, and my leg was never comfortable. I can't drink coffee because I don't have the ability to make it (carry a kettle of water back to my desk) and I can't carry a full coffee cup (crutches). Also makes for getting water difficult (I have a water bottle with a strap I can wrap around my hand), making food, or cleaning dishes. I hate feeling this freaking helpless, and I don't want to ask anyone for help.
So, I am incredibly limited in what I can wear to work. Dress is business professional, but the only thing I honestly feel comfortable in is gym shorts. My brace is so large that pants won't fit over them. So I'm stuck with skirts and dresses. Since I prop my leg up at work, it's not very flattering. I have to invest in some leggings I suppose.
