I know it was the 29th of march, but has something changed since
I went to for a sleep and awoke this morning, please enlighten me,
Confused

Quote:

Well, I've made it through my first two weeks back to work and I've
survived!! LOL (I had tendon repair and a tenosynovectomy on my PT
When I saw my surgeon on the 3rd of April, he told
me that I could (geez, I needed the directions to remember how to put
the darn thing on!) I have to wear the boot when I go out anywhere for awhile yet.
huh?...go back to work for 2 weeks and have a week off! ) I really
wasn't ready for a week off after being off for over 8 weeks. (geez, I
can't believe I'm saying that!!!)
I've been walking around with the soft tie up support brace in my
didn't work either. The good news is that with just the brief amounts
of time, I've been without the boot, I've been better able to walk
off balance because of the weakness. It's 10 weeks since my
surgery...the surgeon says the 6 month mark will mean I'm half way
I'd appreciate any suggestions in regard to shoes, how to get around
with just the tie-up support and anything else. I will be starting PT
spring weather coming in!
Thanks everyone! Hope you're all having a great spring!!

He got his surgeon to write up a one year medical absence?

A while back I was having coffee with a co-worker and our boss. The co-worker had just come back from a 6 month medical leave. The boss asks him how his eye surgery went. The worker looks at him and says after a while, "Oh yeah, I had one cataract removed and then the next week had the other one removed." I asked him about the recovery. He said "I drove the next day both times...what...hey, I had ten months of sick leave, I'm not going to retire and lose it all."
