Living with Molly: Here We Go Again!

Duh duh duh duhhhhhh…

So, I came back home after a fabulous weekend break in the sunshine, and went back into work today for what was supposed to be my final few days before surgery.

I found getting in and starting the day a lot tougher than I expected – not because anyone made it difficult, it was quite the opposite actually.

Everyone was so lovely, genuine and supportive that I think it all just suddenly felt very real. I know many people wouldn’t have gone back to work after the initial diagnosis but for me it’s been a place where I’ve felt supported (and distracted)!

I somehow managed to get through our Leadership meeting and deliver my Academy update and handover summary in one piece, which frankly deserves some sort of award in itself 😂

After that, it was agreed that I should finish work today and focus on getting myself sorted and mentally prepared for Friday’s surgery, and weirdly, I felt “ready but not ready” to finish.

I’d told everyone I’d be there until Thursday, so part of me feels bad that I didn’t get chance to properly say goodbye to lots of people like I’d planned.

But then again, maybe that’s actually a good thing because there’s every likelihood that I’d have ended up a blubbering emotional mess by the end of the week otherwise.

So that’s me done. Over and out.

But not ‘out out’ as Micky Flanagan would say 😂

Now the countdown really begins.

Deep breaths!
