Well done, you, @ruralmum2 .... I'm glad you're listening to Charlotte - she really is an amazing lady. xx
Is there a BC Nurse in your area that you can hook up with? They can be an amazing support, too
Check out the rest of the forum too ... we have lots of 'off topic' threads, where you can show us your gardens, your furkids, art & craft ..... and even check out the 'funny bits' as well, as we all need a laugh now & then! xx.
At the bottom of the post are some downloadable docs on self assessing yourself, both physically and mentally .... print them off & keep a copy for your team to check out as well! (Sometimes it is easier to give it to them to read, than to talk about it with them. xx)

take care - and remember that even tho you come from a nursing background, this is still very new to you, being 'the patient' and can be confronting. xx
