Hi all hoping for thoughts and insights into my current situation.
I'm a teacher who has been off work with an undiagnosed upper respiratory problem which is currently undergoing investigations. I recently tried to return to work however it caused it to deteriorate again and so have been signed off until after christmas in the hope it will resolve or a diagnosis and treatment will have begun.
The problem I have is we have a holiday booked over the Christmas period. The doctors seem to think it will not be detrimental as we are going to significantly warmer climates however I guess I am a little concerned as to how this will look to colleagues/students upon my return.
The other problem I have is my sick note runs into this holiday by about 7 days. My headteacher has suggested I either declare myself well on the first day of the holiday and send him an email saying so, or go in for the last half day of term- can I do either of these things if my sick note runs past that date? I am also concerned about how this will work if upon my return in January the illness is still unresolved and I end up going off sick again.
Just wondering if anyone has any thoughts or insights to this situation, I would usually cancel such a trip- however it is our honeymoon!
