Thank you for asking this question. I fell headfirst down stairs in my home 3 weeks ago and slammed my head into the wall at the bottom of the steps. My family dr seems to have a very good grasp on PCS so I feel like I'm getting good care but I'm worried about when I return to work in a month. HR says I HAVE to return in 4 weeks and work for 30 hours that month or I will lose my health insurance. I provide health insurance for my husband and kids as well so I can't afford to lose it. I'm afraid I'm not going to be ready to return but feel I have to try to just get through 3 hours a day to meet the 30 hour requirement. My boss is fine with me being part time but I'm afraid of anyone talking to me about how I'm doing. I work with small groups of students. Reading makes me nauseous. Noise overwhelms me. I have problems with sensory overload and often times I can't think of words. These will all be problems for me to be able to perform my job. I'm in a bad spot.
Do all of you seasoned PCS people think I can make it through this? Do you think 3 hours a day will be doable? How generic can I be in my responses to coworkers and my boss. I don't want them to know exactly what I'm struggling with other than headaches and extreme fatigue or I'm afraid I'll lose my job and my insurance.
