First week at work-not so successful

Good lord. Rename your dept: The Walking Wounded.

TGIF.

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.

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.

I've got a call in to my doc, hopefully I'll hear from him on Monday.

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?

How many more days til you can retire?

1 year + 1 month. Not that I'm counting or anything......

((((Snap)))) Of course, in theory you KNEW you'd have to rebuild strength slowly and patiently, right? In theory, you knew you start by lifting just a handfull of papers at a time, only gradually working your way up to a ream, not to mention a whole box. And that you should be taking stretch breaks from your deskwork. Nobody, not even people who HAVEN'T been through neck surgery, should be sitting at their computer all day without taking several stretch breaks. So ... you build up slowly and by the time you're back at full speed, you can enjoy that retirement in good health. Consider work like a 1-year training studio program to build back your health for all that biking fun once you've retired.

Geeze Snap, what are we going to do with you?? So it's been a week, how are you THIS week? What did the doctor say?

Or, since tomorrow is Friday the 13th are you hiding under a rock somewhere eating theraputic icecream?
