Tomorrow I go back to work. Today I attended an event at work. It was the first they have seen me in a little over two weeks. One person who I consider a friend, but not real close, commented about my weight loss (about 30 pounds in the last month with the pre surgery diet) and noted that something must be wrong that I lost all that weight in such a short time. I had told coworkers I was off two weeks for medical purposes, but didn't want her to believe I had something dire wrong with me, so commented that I had the surgery. She said "oh", walked away, and didn't mention it again. Wow! That's why I don't want to tell people but I also don't want to lie or lead them to believe I am wasting away with cancer or something. This will be an interesting return to work as I will have to field questions or just know I am being gossiped about. The gossip I can handle. It's the rejection or whatever that bothers me.
