I was out for a couple week's leave following a month's hospitalization. I remember how scared I was that weekend before going back to work. Oh, wow ... it was horrible ...

I work with a group of eight who do the work of 12. They're basically decent people, and though they'd made no attempt to check on me while I was out, they were glad to see me back. They were curious but didn't push much; I was able to just let it go with I couldn't handle the meds. And they were mostly so happy not to have to cover my work load anymore that things got back to normal as soon as I got back into the swing of things.

Try to just let them know that you're sick of being sick and want to get back to pulling your weight. Be sure to thank everyone who covered for you while you were out. Then just get back to business as usual and get the focus off you and onto the job ASAP.

Come on here, set up threads, and keep posting to them. Post all you want. From work too, if that's safe. Use this site as your iT
