Default Funny Looks

I work night shift but I worked days for years. Anyway, i had to go in during the day yesterday and felt so self-concious! Most people at work know I had surgery so I guess that they weren't being rude. People kept looking me up and down! I guess they are trying to see if I have lost and where. I got a couple of nice comments but the funny looks really made me kind of creeped out. Has this happened to you all?

Oh yeah heat to toe staress all the time in the beginning. Also watching what you eat and how you react to it..... for about the first 6 months it seems inevitable, but with time they will forgot all about it.

What Sawyer would call me on LOST: ladybug

"People will argue with you that getting what you want in life isn’t something you can learn, if you’re destined to be one of the worlds winners as opposed to one of its perpetual whiners, its because you have been born with the right talents and temperament and have a big dose of self-esteem, ambition, and good judgment."

I strut quite a bit around the office, so I guess I can't help getting checked out I don't mind if I can be one of those people that are a positive story to pass along. "I know someone who had surgery and she's doing great" type of legacy sounds good to me.
