So I was in a pretty horrific road traffic accident at the beginning of August where I was hit by an uninsured driver while stationary. He was doing 65mph. Anyway this week coming will be my fourth week signed off sick from work. So far I feel like it has been endless days of calls to insurance, lawyers, salvagers, organising a new car, appointments at the hospital, picking up prescriptions, emails etc the list seems endless.
I have been speaking with a councillor through my work, just talking through how the accident has left me feeling mentally etc. I have found these sessions very helpful and have came away with some practical resources to help. During my last session the councillor suggested that as things are starting to come together I should use this week as a self care week where I focus on me. I plan to return to work the following week so this will be my only opportunity to relax.
My ds is 11 and gets himself to and from school and I have an empty house till 3pm so just looking for some ideas of what I can do to relax. I've planned a pamper day I've got face masks and Epsom salts for the bath then a nice body butter. I've booked a massage. I planned to go for a walk at a local nature reserve.
Any other ideas would be appreciated!
