First night in the hospital was Wednesday, 5 January. Got released back to work on Wednesday, 20 January. Got put on leave Tuesday, 2 February, and now on Wednesday, 24 February, I find myself on the last day of my unplanned break. I've worked 13 days out of the last 35 and that will do a lot to a person. For me, it has caused me to look at my life outside of work and place value on things where I normally wouldn't have placed any. Mainly on the importance on collaboration and utilizing the people in your life. This has been such a difficult time, but I have made it through on account of all of the amazing people in my life. Family, friends, strangers on the street (and at the Energy Solutions Arena), doctors, fellow teachers, I have been blown away by the amount of support I've had. As someone who has never really placed much value on the necessity of friends, this has been a truly humbling experience.
