Oh man I was crying all over the place. Especially when I would get to work because I would worry about how I was going to make it through the day and then worry how I was going to get home. Those days are still present and what was once an all day, everyday thing is now about 2 hours worth of worry about 2x a week. But the tears don't come. Thank goodness! My coworkers have seen me cry. Me! The tough girl with tattoos. Oy! Anyway, in August I wound up taking 3 weeks off to acclimate myself to the new diet etc., and I kept tabs with my coworkers (I love them). This is an excerpt that my boss had emailed me during that time and I hope it can inspire some others on here as well:
Hey it's great to hear from you! I've been thinking about you and wondering how you were doing. It sounds like you're making progress both physically and psychologically. As you point out, half the battle is dealing with this illness and I know that if anyone can do it, you can. You're a strong person, Wendy. During this past year you put all of your strength and energy into maintaining a happy front and making sure no one saw what was really going on with you. Now you can take that energy and redirect it into a positive, life-changing, force. Keep it going, girl.
I'm not one to be pitied and so I still smile and put up a happy front when I'm having crampy/bloated days or nausea. Like I said, I'm better than where I was back in August and I truly believe that this too shall pass.
