Well for me it is anyway. D for decision, D for doctor. As some of you know 9 months ago I completely ruptured the tendon that connects my thigh muscles to my knee cap, I was told at the time it would take approximately 9 months till I could walk unaided, and about another 9 months before I could climb stairs and ladders. Well my work forced me to start back 4 weeks ago, if I hadn't I would have been dismissed. And I'm one week away from the same fate over again. I need a doctor to declare me fit to work safely on lifts/elevators, if I don't get that I'll probably be paid off under ill health, if the doctor says I am fit (which I must confess I'm not) then the work will immediately send me back out to do my full time job. Working on lifts is not easy, there is a hellish amount of climbing stairs and ladders, neither of which I can yet manage. So do I try convince my doctor I am fit, go back to work and pray to all the God's that I don't further injure myself, or do I accept my fate, realise I'm going to need to change my profession, pray I'm not out a job too long and see what life throws my way. I can drive no problem so I could possibly do a driving job, or a taxi driver. I never thought it would come to this, but I've one of the hardest decisions yet in my life to make, and make it tomorrow one way or another. If I try and go back to work and injure it all over again I could be in serious trouble health wise for a long long time to come. Apologies for the rant, had to put it down somewhere that my work colleagues could not see.
