Totally out of the blue illness happened in summer holiday. In hospital for most of the first month and has taken quite a whole to recover. Finally think yes can get the OK to return as treatment is working. Pending final OK from specialist and phased return in place should be happening. Have absolutely hated the fact that been unable to do a job I absolutely love and have found whole thing frustrating. Now a tiny bit of me is getting worried that I will be a quivering wreck in the classroom due to being off so long!!!! I have not had more than a couple if days off in the past!!!! Has any one got any words of advice from similar experiences? Many thanks.
