Week 7 - Operation Cripple

Oh for the love of Doc Tassy. God, bless that man. Why, you say? Because he put me on a part-time/light duty schedule. That seriously was a blessing from God. Don't get me wrong, I'm hurtin like hell, but nothing is bothering me more than being at work. He also put me on Relafen for the pain, which hasn't worked yet. I'm so scared it's going to tear-up my stomach. I've been okay-ish so far.

As for PT, I've "graduated" to big girl exercises. It's exciting but sucks at the same time because they hurt ^_^ I couldn't do a full transition, big surprise, because most of the exercises hurt too much. But I have had to start forcing my arm to stretch in flexion despite the pain.

Oh, and I'm weak as hell. I knew that, but didn't "know" that until they told me to do the "wax on, wax off" motion on the wall. Try it. Easy, right? Well I can't do with without stopping = me weak lol. Sadness.

The other thorn in my side is our HR office. I had to do the leave donation program for the surgery because I didn't have enough sick leave for six weeks. Apparently, they need a doctors note to say it's okay for me to come back to work. Okay, wish I knew that when I asked Doc Tassy two weeks before I came back to work, but whatever. I finally get a hold of his nurse on the phone and she tells me that Doc Tassy didn't put in his notes that I could go back to work!! w00t so I got "sent home" (with some persuasion) early and had a 5 1/2 day weekend. Love it! The following week I see Doc Tassy and get my note. Get the work, call HR and the note isn't okay because I did what the lady told me... Yes, you read that right. I did what she told me, and that wasn't RIGHT.... -_- I call Docs office back, they update the note, and mail it off. I got the note yesterday. The note should have said I could return back to work for 20 hours a week as of June 22nd but it was changed to July 22nd... WTF!!!!!!!! That's NEXT WEDNESDAY DUMB ASS grrr! So now I have to drive down there and get yet ANOTHER note with the correct dates. Also, I probably won't get paid for the missed time in between notes. SOB I know exactly who changed the note too. You know she's going to get it.

Much better news, I get to go home in three hours! hahahaha
