Re: not coping

Sorry to hear you have having a bit of a tough day. Anything we can do @outlander ?

I'm pretty okay. A little a tired, but I can't complain. I haven't had major abdominal surgery. How's your recovery going?

Re: not coping

Are you on light duties tomorrow? @outlander

In a way, at least it'll help take your mind off things. I know you usually keep so busy so I can see that two weeks at home can be frustrating.

@Shaz51 - hope you are okay in terms of the cyclone up your way. Thinking of you.

Re: not coping

it is only light duties @tyme the shifts i have this week i will be working but its not much difference to what i would be doing at home. there is still plenty of time to rest, minimal work and mostly just monitoring clients. i just have to be awake all night but ive not been sleeping till around 4am at home anyway depending on my pain levels.
i have to be on light duties for a few more weeks while the internal side of things still continue to heal
