Back To Work Soon.

[tinkerbell23]

Pressures on...had 1 call one voicemail and two texts about it...

Plus a manager also txt my colleague/friend to see when i was back (!!)

Feeling the pressure!!

Ticked a few things off of my to do list i had been avoiding. Big weight off of my mind...

No question really...just a chat xx

[bednobs]

have you been on holiday?

[tinkerbell23]

Hi bednobs long time no see.

Ive been off "sick" for a few weeks....depression.

How are you x

[anneasquith]

do you not think it's still ' early days' ?

[gness]

Hi, Tinks....feeling better....well enough to return?

And wedding plans...or have I missed anything?....

Ma....x

[bednobs]

hey sorry to hear that. Wouldn't it be nice to be off, but still get paid forever?
We are ok thanks

[Mamyalynne]

Hope you feel ready to return, Tinks.

[tinkerbell23]

Anne thats 5wks....i actually dont feel as if ive been off at all...silly that may sound!!! If i could shake the tiredness it would be half the battle...ill see GP wed...i do " miss" work....well, the patient contact i do ....really pleased i overcame a few things last wk....visited people id been avoiding etc...

Hey ma!!! Dresses are in the house now..quite REAL getting lol!!!! Im excited but at the same tim exhausted with all this and needing a wee push sometimes to get things done....super organizer mother of the bride though to help!!!!!!

Glad to hear it Bednobs!!!!!! Xx

[tinkerbell23]

Hi mammy...feel pressured to be honest....i know my planned shifts are three in a row 12hrs.....which i would have preferred an annual leave a wk for a few wks...i dont think throwing me back into three 12hr shifts one after another is the kindest xx

[gness]

Just don't let it get on top of you now.....nice and calm and you'll enjoy and remember the day happily.
Don't fuss about the little things.....they don't matter....if the heel of your shoe gives way...or your knicker elastic snaps...laugh and enjoy!.....♥

[sherrardk]

Can't you have some sort of back to work plan where you do a little and then work towards full time (can't think of the proper term for it)? Hope you don't over do things.

[anneasquith]

how long since you started your medication tink ?

[Mamyalynne]

I agree a more gentle staggered return would better if it could be arranged.

[Maydup]

Ask the doctor for a fit note which recommends a phased return to work Tinks. I have a colleague in a similar position to you who has been on half shifts since Christmas and has recently been given another fit note for the same level of shifts for the next 3 months.

You might not need the same level of phased return or be able to afford to be on reduced hours, but it worth a thought.

[tinkerbell23]

Thats an idea maydup...i didnt think of that??

I would be half pay at 6months i think....which wouldnt be fab...but up untill now i couldnt have let it sway my decision...honestly id just have had to manage xx

[gailforce]
