Isn't the minion for lifting? Repeat after me: "That pencil is too heavy."
What is with HR that they aren't checking on you? And part time to ease back in is a good suggestion. I can't imagine your back is ready for sitting 5 days/8 hrs.

You lifted a case of paper?- as in 10 reams in a box? Ok, that was definitely not a smart move. Those cases are HEAVY.
Remember, it's not just your neck, but also the weeks during which you did very little if any physical activity- your body and muscles need to be eased back up slowly.
Don't do any more lifting of heavy things!
Hope you feel better soon. It sounds pretty awful.Lisa

Sorry to hear about your week Snap. I think the girls have the right idea about half days. You need to ease back into things. Chat to your doctor and get something sorted and ignore the half wits at work they are not worth your time.
The most effective way to do it, is to do it.

urgh
What a load of poo!
Give your manager the backwards victory sign & see if they get it..
Get to yr dr with the questions so you can demand HR to help you. Failing that snap, you'll just have to go on vacation.

I just wanted to say how I agree with all who have posted so far.
When I had my appendix out, (which is NOTHING to what you had done!) I had to work gradually back to full days too. That was a blessing. I was so tired when I came for a half a day, I could not believe it. It was then I realized that going to work includes all the time at home preparing to go to work. So that could add on a few hours that are not even counted.
I hope your healing continues; may you have many questions that your Doc can answer for you. Forget about those that have no comprehension of what you have gone through!
Peaceful healing to you.

Yeah really. Poo brain wasn't wearing a helmet either! His wife is giving him hell on a regular basis for that; I told him I was on her side. Originally Posted by SadieKate

Have a restful weekend.
It sounds like you work with some really nasty people. They need some empathy training.

Sorry you had to go through this. Hell is other people. Sounds like your workplace is a doozy.
How many more days til you can retire?
