hey Jen @Mrs_H I know how you feel. I'm the most impatient person I know. The pressure to return was all my own. For others the whole decision about work wasn't all that much of a struggle, but for me it was a huge struggle. I was exhausted the first few months and it's only with hind sight that I know I took the best approach of a gradual return. I guess I just wanted to let others know that it is ok to take it slow and just because you may look good (because face it when you return to work heaps of people always say how good you look) it doesn't necessarily mean you feel good. You will get there. Good luck with it all.
