The return to work...

I've had it...I've decided to go back to work next week after nearly 6 weeks, 2 of which in hospital with a mystery UT pain which was a suspected passed stone with damage.

However my legs are so floppy and sore that going back to a class of 30 kids on a large campus is going to be hard work. I've therefore been cleared to use crutches when needed which will be a god send as may e il be able to actually get places....I hate being cooped up so the last 6 weeks have been horrible as I've literally been on my back crying in pain.

Very anxious about returning but going to discuss phasing it with my employer who will hopefully be supportive with it. Just so looking forward to seeing the littlies!

Working with fibro is so so so so hard but I would never be entitled to support if I didn't work as my husband works full time (although on just his wage we wouldn't afford our mortgage)

I'm rambling again sorry!

Good luck. I hope you are able to get your phased return. Try not to return too quickly. When I did mine this time last year, I initially did 3 mornings a week over a 3 week period. After this it was reviewed and I gradually increased over a 2 month period overall.
