I visited my office yesterday. It was the first time I had been back there since my heart attack. It was kinda fun, as I was immediately surrounded by a crowd of people wanting to know how I was and to wish me well.
I also get real nervous being the center of attention like that, but it was ok. I really miss that place and all my friends there.
Also, it kinda felt like a ghost town. For all the people that came to see me, I realize how many are gone. The office is more than half empty compared to just a couple months before my heart attack. One of my friends joked about tumbleweeds blowing down the aisles.
It was nice to see everyone again, but the reason I went was to tell my boss the latest update. That is, they have discovered a lot more problems that they are going to have to deal with surgically. I'll probably be having two more surgeries, both pretty serious. It may be a couple more months before I am back to work.
Once that's over, I'll be glad to go back to work. I never imagined how much I would miss that job.
