The first good day back does not mean the adjustment is finished.

Recovery of any kind is uneven, and one strong day is easy to read as the end of a difficult period. The people around you read it that way too, and the support quietly steps back just as the harder stretch begins. A good day is genuine, and it is not a finish line.

If you are coming back from something, plan for the days after the good one and let people know you are still adjusting. If you are watching someone return, keep asking a few weeks longer than seems necessary.
