[Vonnieruth]

First day back at work on my phased return.Went ok just a slow pace on the laptop Actually got a jelly arm with all the typing lol BP was 103/60 pulse 73 on arriving home Back for round two tomorrow

[jedimasterlincoln]

Glad it went well, I was thinking about you hoping it had.

[Vonnieruth in reply to jedimasterlincoln]

Aw thank you Was anxious I have to have meeting with home manager on Wednesday as I have 60 points due to being off

[jedimasterlincoln in reply to Vonnieruth]

I have a HR meeting scheduled 5th September - a week before I meet Occupational Health for an update which seems a bit daft.

[Vonnieruth in reply to jedimasterlincoln]

Makes you wonder how things work

[Hilly22]

You're over the biggest hurdle now, so glad it went ok. Time to relax and enjoy the rest of your day x

[Vonnieruth in reply to Hilly22]

Hi Vonnie big pat on the back 😄😄😄

[Vonnieruth in reply to Edm174]

Thank you How was your day

[Edm174 in reply to Vonnieruth]

Rubbish day my hubby got a recall on his prostrate cancer check got to see consultant next Friday !!!!!

[Vonnieruth in reply to Edm174]

Oh fingers crossed all will be not too bad

[doodle68]

Hi Vonnie pleased to hear your day went ok. I guess going back to work was the highest hurdle to jump and it must have been very daunting for you, well done . Now that is been mastered things shouldn't be so bad.

Early to bad for you I think, don't get too tired.

[Vonnieruth in reply to doodle68]

I'm shattered to be honest Doodle Shoulders and back aching a bit

[doodle68 in reply to Vonnieruth]

.....I bet, maybe a hot bath would help Vonnie

[hock217 in reply to doodle68]

Great suggestion.

[hock217 in reply to Vonnieruth]

You did it! Tension over first day likely. Warm bath, soothing music......and whatever comforts you sweetheart.

[Vonnieruth in reply to hock217]

Now getting ready for day two lol Off for three days then Hock Relaxation time

[jonjub]

That was a major step today and well done for achieving. Be very pleased with yourself and use this as a sound basis for going onwards. Make sure though that you go at a pace you are comfortable with.

[Vonnieruth in reply to jonjub]

Thank you I intend to now go in the slow lane and anything I cannot do is still there for another day

[wilsond]

Brilliant news! Xxx

[Vonnieruth]

Thank you Back in today ten till three Feeling tired this morning and still little anxious but I am going to do it

[Hidden]

Well done it must feel good to be getting back on it. X

[Vonnieruth in reply to Hidden]

Anxious about it Still am today but keep telling myself relax I can always come home if it's too much

[Hidden in reply to Vonnieruth]

Yes I'm sure you are it's a big step. Easy said but just take it a day at a time I find that less overwhelming.

[Vonnieruth in reply to Hidden]

Going in the slow lane

[Gwersey]

Has that horrible feeling gone? The feeling of dizziness/nausea after you've been to the loo x

[Vonnieruth in reply to Gwersey]

Yet swapped my ramipril losartan due to it giving me bad cough and that seems to have gone also Do you still get it

[Gwersey in reply to Vonnieruth]

Bad as ever. Still no diagnosis. I'm pleased for you though and hope it continues to stay away x

[Vonnieruth in reply to Gwersey]

You had the tilt table done yet

[Gwersey in reply to Vonnieruth]

Yes and it showed negative for POTS. Diagnosed with hiatus hernia and eosophagitis last month. Pray you never need an endoscopy. I'd rather give birth than have another one. Been taking omeprazole for 6 weeks, 40mg, but hasn't helped if I'm honest. Still dizzy, nauseous and have ectopic beats all the time. My family have compassion fatigue with me!! Hell, I'm sick of listening to myself moan!!! But I do feel like crap most days.

[Vonnieruth in reply to Gwersey]

Aw that's not good .Mine got sick if hearing me I went doctors asked for something as I'm always burping He gave me something for ibs.In not taking those thank you very much So what happens next with it

[Gwersey in reply to Vonnieruth]

Really no idea Vonnie. Go back to GP? Ask my (wealthy) brother to lend me money for a private consultant? Plod on?

I hope work went ok for you and you get back to your normal routine soon.

[Vonnieruth in reply to Gwersey]

In phased return so not doing full twelve hours yet When that arrives I will see if I can manage them If not I will leave Will be sad as I do enjoy my job If you ever want a moan or a chat message me we can moan together and give our families a break lol

[Gwersey in reply to Vonnieruth]

Same goes for you x

[Algi996]

Well done Vonnie keep at it but at the same time take it steady. Good luck.

[Vonnieruth in reply to Algi996]

Thank you Will be in slow lane from now on

[Maura5]

Well done, that’s the biggest hurdle the first day and you’ve done it! I’ve been off work for six weeks now after my ablation and have had frequent AF episodes since. My BP has been very low which doesn’t help the situation! However, I am starting my phased return to work today, I do shifts so I’m returning for six hours for the first two weeks and then we’ll take it from there. I’m very jittery and anxious this morning but trying to keep calm. I suppose I’m just dreading having an episode at work on my first day back but I’m hoping once I get the first day out of the way I’ll feel a bit more confident. Wish me luck!

[Vonnieruth in reply to Maura5]

Aw hope all went well We practically went back together I also do twelve hour days but only doing five at moment

[Maura5 in reply to Vonnieruth]

Thank you, just got home, extremely busy shift so did seven hours not six, right in at the deep end, I was ok but on the way home the ectopics started with a vengeance 🙄 never mind, tomorrow’s another day. I’m glad the first day is out of the way I was really dreading it x

[Vonnieruth in reply to Maura5]

Hope your ok now Please don't let work put on you They have to support you in everyway possible Too much could result in you making yourself ill Not them Please remember that

[Maura5 in reply to Vonnieruth]

Well, I had 2 hours of AF this morning, back in NSR now but ectopics still there 🙄

I’m just so fed up with this!

[Vonnieruth in reply to Maura5]

You off work today Rest up if you are Don't push things I was going shopping today but felt so tired this morning I cancelled going

[Maura5 in reply to Vonnieruth]

Yes, luckily off today, I planned my return to work so I would just have 1 day on then a few off to break me in gradually, glad I did now! You rest up too, the shopping will have to wait!

Thank you so much for replying x

[Vonnieruth in reply to Maura5]

I to planned In for two days off now for three The I do my three in three off Do you know you can ask for holiday pay to be added to your reduced hours

[Maura5 in reply to Vonnieruth]

No I didn’t know that, thank you

[Vonnieruth in reply to Maura5]

The sister at cardiology told me So I googled it and then checked with our payroll office and you can do it Well in UK you can

[Maura5 in reply to Vonnieruth]

Oh great, thanks 👍

[12cupcakes]

Well done. Here to continue success

[Vonnieruth in reply to 12cupcakes]
