Hi @Shaz51 @GezzaP ,

I had a decaf mocha this afternoon!

And I bought myself a large caffeinated latte after my physio this morning at the hospital, they are happy with my progress and I am returning to work tomorrow for a half day! 🤩

Mmm how am i and how did it go.... hard to say. @Shaz51 @GezzaP

Objectively i should say it went "fine". They asked questions and listened. Offered a residential 2 wk program, but i dont think it will help and its more hassle with my dogs (i have just been away for a week and 1 of my dogs was quite upset not having me at home at night). Instead they will put in a referral for a home-visit weekly support if they can.

But i also feel low afterwards because the reality is that the longer term support i would need is not a service provided. And kinda hurts that the support offered today woud have helped 12 months ago when i had my first assessment, but since then i have declined further and become resigned so it feels too little too late.

So yeah, a comfort iced coffee milk might be nice.

Sounds tasty @Rosepetal96 .

I hope your return to work tomorrow goes well. 😊 sounds like you are positive and looking forward to this? 🥰

Very good! @Shaz51 @I've been doing some ironing of my uniform for tomorrow and got my backpack prepared.

I've got an early start so I am glad I have fixed my sleeping routine! 🌻

Did some physio, they're impressed with my foot's progress. I've been cleared to do some mat pilates without weight loading in my foot.

They did some massage of my foot and the toes as I've been having some irritation from increasing my steps

How's your day going?

I would love to recall everyone to tag for this thread but it's hard to remember all! I just know who to directly tag who has tagged me

That’s good you are returning to work @Rosepetal96 .

Thank you @AlwaysMyself, yes I am very excited I haven't worked since the end of August last year, when I had a fall down some steps and tore my left midfoot ligament and bone bruised and sprained my right ankle.

It's been a journey, 2 months in a moonboot non weight bearing and then re learning how to walk again! I am very much craving the social interaction and a return of routine and sense of productivity 🌻🌻

To get where I am today has been damn hard work 🐌🐌🐌🐌 and taken it's time, but I am coming out the other side, a bit slower and cautious, but confident

Thank you @GezzaP , work has always provided a sense of routine, socialisation and focus for me, supporting my physical and mental wellbeing. So to be at the point of my rehabilitation that I can go back to work even on reduced hours is a major milestone!

Thats great @Rosepetal96 ! Rehab is hard work and takes a lot of patience - well done. It sounds a very painful (and inconvenient - your foot!) injury. Very glad you are making good recovery. 😊

That’s good you are returning to work @Rosepetal96 , well done on your recovery , it may of been slowly but you are going it 😍

got some more potting mix to plant some trumpet cuttings

had to go for a drive to return the car wipers -- were the wrong ones

did a load of washing -- still on the patio line drying -- maybe dry tomorrow

Congratulations @Rosepetal96 .
