I was supposed to go back to work next week to ease back in per doctors plan. I was to work Tues and Thurs to have a day off in the middle and weekends to recover. My HR won't allow it. They want me back all or nothing and I think the doctor is right -- to ease back in. (I am better, but also wonder about a relapse) I have my union looking into this and need to work on my rights too -- but going back to work does make me nervous a bit because I did that once and it didn't go so well.
It seems to me that no one, no doctor, not you, certainly not the Human Resources dept, really know **for sure** how to ease back to work, or there are guidelines, but you have to listen to yourself, watch what happens to avoid a relapse. Keep us posted about returning to work. It is on my mind too as I prepare yet another week of lessons for school. Take care, poetry mom aka JJ

[SIZE="1"]What happened. I was in a car accident 2-23-2013, and got a mild concussion from it. I had some time off for brain rest, got somewhat better, but slipped into PCS in March 2013. Symptoms I had: dizziness, light and sound sensitivity, fatigue, tinitis, occasional headaches and migraines, Symptoms as of 5--2013: poor sleep, tinitis, some confusion /short term memory blanks, balance. The other symptoms are mostly gone, but flare up if I OVERdo something. Therapy I had: vestibular 3 months in: I could drive more and for longer distances. I felt like a younger, happier version of myself and I feel so blessed to have this feeling. 9 months in and I am working full time. I do get tired, and some sound and light sensitivity from time to time, but mostly I am over most of my symptoms. I pray every day and I m praying for your recovery. Over a year in: I can multi task (limited) and have humor in my life. But when I am tired, I am very tired. |
