I’ve been on a medical LOA since last year and tomorrow I go back to work and I keep thinking about how almost all my coworkers I knew are gone and processes have changed. Also that if I do something wrong I might injure myself again and be right back where I was a year ago (I have been cleared for full job duties by my doctor).
That’s how mine was actually. I just lost the ability to run one day and it progressed from there to my hands going numb. Now I’m terrified when I turn my head to check the blind spot in my rear view. I fortunately had a great neurologist so I’m back to 95ish%
So far, I’ve gotten bullshit advice like “stretch” and “come back in three months if it still bothers you.” I’m like “I paid you for that advice?” Have a concierge doc tomorrow, hope they give me some real insight. I just want to get back to running and stuff.
