Breathing Again

BalaclavaBreathing again. It does sound funny, but in a way I am. I held my breath for so long waiting for something to happen, that I forgot one of my golden rules - that you have to make your own stuff happen, you can't wait for, or rely on someone else to do it for you.
I am now much recovered from my eye procedure, and am well on the way to 20/20 vision. The clarity of my vision is almost perfect now, so whilst my vision is being held slightly longsighted whilst the final phase of healing takes place, at least I am functionally corrected. In a couple of weeks the medication will be eased off to allow my vision to make its way to 20/20. Once there, another medication will hold it steady, and after a few months my eyes will be ready to do it on their own.
Returning to work was an interesting process. It was a little difficult, my vision is still quite unstable - really good sometimes, but other times I struggle to see much at all. Being in meetings was difficult (sometimes) as I couldn't always read people's reactions to what was going on, or sometimes even see who was making eye contact with whom. I felt a little out of kilter with all of that stuff.
I also came back to the shambles of someone doing my work for two weeks. Days prior to my leave, a new process and all that entails was passed to me to start up and co-ordinate. But it couldn't stop happening whilst I was away. So someone else had to do it. Then when I came back he didn't want to hand it back to me. This "politiking" was difficult for a few days, until he just got over himself, and I stood my ground.
Ya ya, I know work stuff is so inherently boring that I usually don't even mention it here.
