Good-bye Wonder Woman

I have always been blessed with the ability to heal faster than the average. If the extimated time of recovery is two weeks, I would be on my feet in 10 days. I just assumed that the recovery from the knee surgery would be the same. I even brought it up when planning the surgery, and the doctor was noncomittal about my plans to return to work in 8 weeks, an attitude I took to mean that he expected me to be ready to return in that time frame. Well, here it is 9 weeks out from surgery, and I still am missing the necessary stamina to return to work. Luckily for me, I have an amazing, understanding principal who didn't bat an eye about me not returning for another month. So, good-bye Wonder Woman, your life in the fast track has now passed me by. I will try to enjoy these last weeks of recuperation, and hope I won't feel too guilty because I am not at work to begin the school year!
