Default Dismayed too

Yesterday one of my best friends came to visit me at home.

She works (worked?) with me at the casino, where I hold a management position in marketing.

Right now the GM appointed one of my senior employees (not my friend) to cover my position as an "acting" term, for the short term. I've been gone 3 months now since injury.

My friend informed me that the GM has now asked HER if she'd be interested in being appointed as a long term acting marketing manager. With the understanding that "if" I come back (his words) I might not be able to perform and it could become permanent.

So my friend is excited... For the opportunity. And I'm sitting there going... What? Everyone is moving on already and preparing for me to fail? And this is happy?

How is this ok?

It sucks.

About it: October 26, 2012 I fell backward on an icy parking lot at work. I was on Workers Comp for 9 months. My PCS : everyday headaches became once in a while headaches, and neck pain became manageable. Still have occasional mild dizziness, sometimes fullness in the ears, convergence insufficiency, sequencing struggles, short term memory struggles, verbal processing delays. CT neg, MRI neg. Therapies: prism glasses, acupuncture, icing neck, resting, supplementing, Elavil 20mg at bedtime.

NEW: Completed 12 weeks of physical therapy and returned to work full time.

About me: I'm a marketing manager, a mom with a blended family and wife to a heart attack survivor. I believe my brain injury taught me more than it cost me. I'm grateful to still be me!
