Road To Recovery: Week 9 (Oct 26 to Nov 2, 2008)

In order to go back to work, there were a few things to prepare in the last week before working again:

1. Combat the pain associated with long-time-sitting. The main factor was excercise of the hip mustles both in the pool and on the dry land. The other factors included massage (with the help of a friend, as well as a shiatsu foot massager) and a donut seat cusion.
2. Develope mental and physical endurance for 8-hours of office work. I was able to swim between 800 feet to 1200 feet none stop daily. I was also able to swim with one breath 25 feet daily.

Additionally, I met with friends from previous jobs for lunch twice, to get a feel of interactions with co-workers.
