Broken Foot - Xmas night out?!

[melonballer123]

So I stupidly fell down the stairs and have fractured a bone in my foot. I have to wear a moon boot for 4 weeks. I have a pretty physical job so am off work until the boot comes off. My works xmas night out is on Sat my work pals say i should still go as i’ve never been off sick in the 10 years i’ve worked there and its not like people won’t see the boot and know my time off work is legitimate. My husband doesn’t think i should go as he thinks people will think well if she can come to a night out why isn’t she at work?! I’m unsure - there is a sit down meal and then dancing. Should I go for just the meal and then leave or not bother?! i’m so bored in the house all day so it would be good to see people but i know my boss will be there so i don’t know if it’s appropriate.
Sorry for the long windedness!

Could you email your boss at work and ask if it's ok to go?
As long as you don't try to get up and dance it doesn't sound like you could be seen to be in the wrong.

Of course you should go. As you say you're going complete with cast. You'll be hobbling in and sitting down all night - totally different to having to do a physical job. Bring unfit to work doesn't mean having to stay home.

Go and enjoy yourself
