Had an operation on my knee at the end of February.
Was initially told (before the op) that recovery would be 6-8 weeks, after the op was told that the operation was more complicated than was first thought.
Been having weekly physio but ,although there had been a slight improvement, things have not gone as well as expected.
Saw the consultant yesterday who has said that I need more time to heal before he can scan and see what the problem is. Seeing him again in July??
I work in another town to where I live and cannot physically drive at the moment due to pain. But I could work if I could get there?
Been having monthly meetings at work for absence and all seemed well.
I have been today and been informed that they will be looking at re-deployment or dismissal
I don't know what to do? I didn't think that with a doctors note they could sack me? I know I have been off quite a while but I don't think it's an exessive amount of time after an operation.
I am in the union at work and they have said they will look into it.
But now I'm really worried. I can't afford to lose my job.
Any advice would be appreciated.
