 Dear Ladies

wish me luck/send love and prayers etc, to me today as I have my follow up Occ health meeting with the very humane Dr T. Wish he was my boss.

thanks for all your support this past 2 months. Its been sooooo helpfulxxxxxxxx

Ooh, good luck, Sally!
Sounds like you'll be in sympathetic hands. How are you feeling?

Yes he is really perceptive and helpful. I am nervous because it is hard to assess how I feel really. I have had two good weeks of peace and feeling good - third week on HRT so I don't want to go back too early but at the same time………work is  a good routine and financial security of course.! Hope you are feeling ok too?

I know what you mean - when you feel good, it's hard to imagine ever feeling bad again...when you feel bad, it's hard to imagine ever feeling good again!

You have to assume that occ.health understand that, and can take a flexible approach. Be honest - tell him your concerns and see if he can help formulate a back up plan for any wobbly days.

I feel pretty good, thanks.  Sleeping better, which makes a HUGE difference!

How did you get on?

[SallyG]

It went well. Doc was incredibly supportive. Just wants me to get well and heal. Wants me to take more time to do that and appreciates that I am being really proactive. Was interested in the menopause/HRT too.

That is so refreshing to read, Sally! If only everyone's experience was so positive!
Do you feel better, just knowing you are supported?

[SallyG]

Yes it was a real high to know that he was so supportive. Stark reality today though. Grey cold day and teenage hormones to deal with!
I do feel like I am being taken care of. I feel very blessed.

[CLKD]

Do let the Doctor know how helpful he is.  Occupational health only works if the man at the top is aware of all medical situations  - I too was lucky in that Dept..

Teen hormones? Yours or 

[SallyG]

Ha. Ha! My 14 year old daughters. Actually passed without incident!
I do feel very fortunate to have been put in touch with the top guy. The person on the ground at our place has pretty much retired on the job and the fact that this consultant works independently means he is refreshingly cynical about the workplace and crystal clear in his assessments. All is well and all manor of things will be well.
