A JOYFUL NOISE

Last Tuesday, 20th, my work place ¬¬¬decided that the restrictions my doctor gave me was not in the “met requirements” for human resource to honor so they denied me of restrictions (long story that I do not really have energy to get into but will be glad to tell you if you are interested) This made me upset, but Human Resources found out that I had 6 days left of FMLA to take, so I took it. This has been one long and hectic week and past weekend for me and my family. God’s tim Me especially. God’s timing is perfect for everything even if it has to be for sad occasions as I was able to be off and have extra time off to recuperate from stress before going back to work.. For those who do not know, my grandfather passed away last Wednesday, April 21, 2010. I contact HR and they granted me 3 days of bereavement along with my last 6 days of FMLA (don’t have to go back to work till Tuesday, May 4th) Dad, Mom, and I discussed the best time to go to NY and after co...

......is why after almost 2 weeks of "pain free" (meaning I can deal with the pain with regular pain medication), I am in a lot of pain again, my GI flare up is bad and I'm about to loose my mind with the amount of work I have to get sent in to Medicaid for my clients. I returned to work on 4/9. This past week was a full work week for me; I was off Tuesday for my many medical appointments but ended up working this past Saturday to 1. off set my time off I took Tuesday because I had no time to cover, and 2. to help me get caught up in my work load. I'm still behind and stressed. My orthopedic doctor (Dr. Smith) said that pain is expected for several months but to just take my anti-inflammatory drug (Naperlan) and gave me light duty work (no lifting, pushing, pulling, overhead work, etc); however, my chiropractor thinks differently. Because of my recent accident 3 weeks ago, my neck has been more sore than usual. He said it is very very common for neck injurie...

Yes, I’m back to the old grind of things. My first day back was last Thursday, April 8 th . I worked Thursday and Friday and it wasn’t too bad, but I certainly came home exhausted and in pain…..I also had to work around my schedule so I can get to my therapy appointments. My boss is so good about working around my schedule so that I can still have my full 8 hr work day without using any sick/leave time (that I do not even have!) This week, though it’s just Wednesday, has been exhausting as well. My paperwork has been piling sky high, I JUST found out that things that were supposed to be done never got done so I’m behind in my work and stressing out; which is not good for my health, especially since I am not feeling 100% myself yet. I was off this past Tuesday because of several appointments so my boss is allowing me to offset the hours I missed by working on Saturday. The good thing is that it will be QUIET and I am positive I will get a lot done. I am also on work restr...
