Re: not coping

I've been signing off tasks for staff at work @outlander Today I did medication assessments for two trainees.

After surgery I'll be in a moon boot and crutches for 6 weeks and then another 6 weeks with just the moon boot.

I only have 7 more work days then I'm taking Long Service Leave for 4 weeks prior to surgery. I still haven't decided if I'll return to work after my recovery. I need to get financial advice about that one.

yeah its hard when recovery is so long, i think ive only got about 4 days of sick leave so far so id have alot of unpaid time off if i had anything major happen.

have you got lots of activities you can do that can keep you occupied while sitting down

Re: not coping

Good on you for upskilling yourself @outlander you won't regret it and it will open doors for you to advance your career.

Because I work for the public service I've received meritorious sick leave of 500 hours so even though I've used a lot of sick leave in the past 2 years I still have a bucket load available. Lot to be said for working for the Govt! There won't be any left by the time I retire though.It means I've. worked continuously for the past 26 years so they must figure it takes that long for public servants to start to fall apart
