last week the doctor gave me one of these new 'fit notes' (as opposed to sick notes) and we decided that i would attempt a return to work this week. fortunately work are happy with the suggestion that i have a 'planned re-entry' and i sat down with my line-manager and my diary and we worked through the next four weeks, looking at what days i would work and those that i wouldn't. it was a matter of prioritising meetings and so if i don't come to yours - sorry it's not a priority!
in many ways i was grateful to see my desk again, though even just writing that might imply that i am obviously not well, but it was a bit quiet as my colleague was working in north cornwall today. though maybe that was for the good as i was able to put my head down and work through the emails and the post and come up with an a4 page of 'to do's', but bear in mind this is also on top of the 'to do's' that i had prior to being ill.
anyway this week i worked today 11-4, have a meeting tomorrow afternoon and then another one on friday afternoon (very important one). i did also have a training day on saturday but at lunch time an email came through cancelling it, which in some ways i am disappointed by, but as i now feel very tired after a few hours work is possibly a good thing.
it was also a good day to be back as i had missed some cake whilst i was away (birthday/ leaving do's) and today was claire's birthday and she had brought some cakes - so i enjoyed a jelly tot cupcake with my afternoon tea.
