Went to a work event today and saw people who haven't seen me for months and one who hasn't seen me for a year. Was amazing. I forgot how much my looks have changed but to have everyone comment
It's so great when people notice I get it a lot at work as I only see my patients every 6 months I've had a few I haven't seen in a year that didn't recognize me at first.
The fact I had surgery isn't public knowledge at work. So a few people asked about how I'd done it and I felt a bit bad not telling the whole truth, but our office is terribly gossipy
so what? i ran into an aquaintance yesterday who didn't know.. and she said.. "so... you've been working hard! looking good!" and i just said.. "thank you, it's hard work indeed"
