While it is important to feel ready, with all of this outside pressure you will have to figure out a way to express to everyone else whether or not you are ready. Often these outside influences help you realize that you are ready. It can feel good to get up and go do something, get into a fresh environment and be around people. It s a tough call at times to figure out if you are really ready or if you are being forced to be ready whether you are ready or not. Time and Rest Take the time to let your body heal from the illness and get plenty of rest.
Nothing slows the recuperation process like rushing it.
It takes time for your body to bounce back after any illness and it takes even more time to mend when it is battling HIV, and even more time with co-infections like hepatitis B or C or other conditions such as diabetes or heart disease. Do not rush the process. Take small steps. If you are going to go back to work then start with half days if you can. If you have the option of working from home, try that for a few days before heading back to the office for full days.
