Blah

Today was a blah day.  Cloudy, overcast and damp.  I also felt blah.  I ran a few errands.  When I was in Michael's I started feeling really crappy.  When I got home, I took a pain killer, the first one in a while.  I had to repeat that later.  So I didn't go with my husband and son to services.  Oh, well.

I am still unsure what is going on as far as going back to work.  I hope everything can get resolved by the middle of next week.  If not, I have no idea what will happen.

Stumbling Blocks

After meeting with the occupational health specialist last week, and having the steroids take effect, I decided to try to go back to work if I can get an accommodation to work from home.  So I called my HR representative, and she emailed me the forms needed to be filled out.  However, I promised my son that I wouldn't cancel the February vacation no matter what, especially after cancelling our summer vacation.  So we are leaving whether I am back at work or not.  My HR rep said that I don't have a waiting period to take vacation, so as long as my supervisor says it is ok, I can take my vacation, even if I've only been back at work a few days.

My husband faxed the paperwork to the occupational health specialist I saw last week, and she filled it out by attaching her report to it.  Not a problem, she recommends I go back to work part time, and work from home, as long as my doctor approves.  So I called my doctor's office.  I talked to his patient coordinator.  My doctor is out of the office this week.  Next week he is in the hospital.  Ugh!  I really hope he can return the paperwork even though he is back at the hospital.  I need to go back to work before vacation.  This is stating to stress me out.  When stressed, I get more abdominal pain.  This is not what I planned.
