Had my meeting at work for phased return I am to work 10 till 3pm for first two weeks Then review I will spend my time transfering care plans and bringing my on line training up to date as it was suspended while off We are to discuss increase of hours after two weeks and see what progression can be met My hours will be brought up to full time by my holiday entitlement
hopefully start back in Friday at 10.00 am and work Friday and Saturday
Oh Vonnie that sounds like a good start, so pleased for you. Bet you're glad that's over 👍🏼 xx
I am Hilly Got a few hugs off the residents and all the staff Was lovely to see them again .Got home about 4pm That's two and half hours out in my own for first time lol
Well done you. How lovely to get such a warm welcome too. I'm sharing your relief 😃
Ohh thank you Hilly Just see how it goes I will have three days off after Saturday Then three days in
Sounds perfect! Have a lovely evening, you deserve it 💐
Thank you Have a lovely chilled evening with your husband to x
Fantastic! You're on the mend and positive reinforcement awaits you.
Great news with positive reinforcement. I was not ill when I retired but grieving multiple sibling loss. In retrospect, caring about my patients and colleagues but retiring due to grief just added to the loss. I was offered a leave of absence, part time but refused and retired. In retrospect, it added to the multiple losses. So tempting to quit and isolate.....don't do it without trying all else first.
I think if it as a break from family problems my daughter has schysophrenia and my other two have personal problems Some days I just have their worries all day from dusk to dawn on top work
Too much stress for the strongest people. Glad you are returning to work. There are support groups for their issues and your additional support is a reinforcement. You do need your own life and diversity. It will help your children also...to avoid becoming too dependent on you.
Great news vonnie knew you would do it 😄😄😄🌸
Thank you It's a start was so anxious How's your day been
Up and down on these sotalol back for ecg on Thursday !!! Have to stay on them until cardioversion then not sure what happens !! Been to work one way of forgetting things for a while !
Sorry to hear that Hopefully it will settle once body is use to change in meds
I hope so !! I won’t give in I may have AF but it’s not got me 😄
I'm trying to keep thinking positive now I cannot live being scared Today was also first time out alone so double firsts for me
Keep thinking them thoughts you can do it !!! 😄
I will if you will
You go girl....you are an inspiration.
So true. Losing confidence is a foreign and scary state for us confident women. You sound far too successful for that state of mind. Acknowledge it's a doubtful passing thought, then you go girl...
Got to try I know but it's when I get faint palpitations in a morning Not sure it's my anxiety or AF
I know. Sudden doubt attacks when Our bodies misbehave. Take a slow deep breath as anxiety can feel like a cardiac issue. Best antidote for anxiety is slow, deep breathing until it passes. Do not permit a phobia to take over. Phobias are bullies feeding on fear. We have your back and are sending positive thoughts your way. Keep us posted on your success.
Thank you Hock I will let you know how it goes
Are you happy with the outcome? I have to say that sounds reasonable to both you and the employer!
I'm happy yes Once I'm back full time if staff starting asking me to leave my paper work etc to help them I have to let management know and they nip it in the bud
One day at a time. Take care of You ....best/only way to take care of others.
Hi Vonnie 
that sounds like a satisfactory outcome that you are happy with.
It's good too that you went out alone and you should soon get your confidence back.
Thanks doodle All I can do is to try
Glad the meeting went well. Take things one day at a time. Often the thought of things is worse than the reality. Xx
Was nice to see people and the residents
How wonderful and an inspiration to the rest of us. There are some good employers out there and obviously some well thought of employees! Take it steady and don't go doing too much too quickly!
I intend to take things easy from now on Specially cutting back in overtime
Excellent glad you are on track with work now,sounds a reasonable plan all round.Best wishes xx
Thank you Fingers crossed I can manage it
I am so happy for you Vonnie. May all you hope for or even better all that is best for you come to fruition. One foot in front of the the other, breathe deeply. You go girl!
Thanks hock
Hope it is going well at work. If the hours are manageable, it is a break from other issues mentioned. Is your daughter in a day program, stabilized on meds etc? Give yourself "me time" a few times a year....even two days receiving a massage etc helps. Big Hug n positive thoughts Vonnie.
Hi Hock Still only working till 3pm three days a week Doing four this week as my first aid has run out so in tomorrow training Life goes on and is just the same Daughter has medication yes but doesn't always take them Hope you are keeping ok
