Back to work tomorrow :(

[Hulababy]

...and not looking forward to it at all.

Have been off for 9 weeks, since the end of November following the second op. Before that I had 7 weeks off from September-October after the first op. So have only done 3 weeks work since September (with one week's holiday in between).

I have now had both ops and the HRT treatmeny afterwards. I had my HSG test last month and I go back to see the consultant at the beginning of March.

The ops seem to have been successful. The HSG test came back clear with no sign of adhesions in the uterus any more. So now it is just a trip to see the consultant to see what he says and what happens next. I feel really in turmoil about it all. I so want to be able to have a second child, but obviously have no idea if the ops will make that possible. In the past my hormone levels were normal and showing signs that I do ovulate. But it took ages to get DD, so I know these ops are no quick fix solution really. No one can tell me what I really want to know - only time will show me if it is possible. I know that. But ...I don't know... ignore me, I am rambling!

Anyway, I am back to the doctors this morning and he will be signing me back to work.

So as of tomorrow it will be back to work 3 days a week. An hour and a quarter commute each way. Lots of changes about to occur in the department. And I have so much homework to catch on for my Level 4 course too - well, 16 weeks worth! I am so behind. I don't even want to do the course it is being enforced on me as it is. Grr!

So, wish me luck for tomorrow... a 6am alarm clock will be dragging me out of bed to get there.

Oh well, at least half term next week so only do one day that week.

Wow, an hour and a half commute each way! I feel for you. What work do you do? Are you feeling physically up to going back? If not, is your doctor sympathetic enough to sign you off for longer?

Sorry - mean an hour and quarter - but long enough anyway. The thought of leaving the house at 6:50am for the 8:30am start is horrible!

I work in a prison, I have been physically okay through TBH. But when on hormone tablets then I was too emotionally hormonally?) vunerable because of my work situation - I do one to one work wil male prisoners of varying categories. I stopped the hormones nearly 2 weeks ago now, so they are probably out of my system now.

I uess it really is time to go back...maybe just too used to beig at home, playing the SAHM role. I am so on top of my housework, laundry, have time to cook properly every day, etc. Now back to normaility!

How intereseting. Are you a cousellor or a warder or a ???can't think of any other prison type roles! Hopefully you like your work though the commute sounds a pain, unless you get a seat on a train and can sit on your laptop doing MN! Now there's a thought. I'd love an hour and a quarter's time to myself! Forgive me if the commute means driving or being squashed on a train standing up. Also ignore my nosey work questions if you don't want to tell us.

Sadly my commute is sat in the car in rush hour traffic on a motorway and through the city centre.

I work as an advice and guidance worker within the education department (I sued to be a teacher) helping the men plan thier time inside and make decisions about their future when back out, etc.

I have my note to say I can return to work. I declined more time off; thought it was for the best - well, I think, kind of regretting it a bit now, lol! But I do need to go back sometime so tomorrow is as good a day if any.

GP was lovely and thinks that the HSG result sounds really good and really positive, and also thinks my consultant will be really good at what happens next, etc. Apparently he is THE person to see in our area, and he is normally really forward thinking and likes to be on the ball, so he shouldn't just sign me off and leave me too it. Let's hope that is the case

I know ho wyou feel , I have been off work since October (well going back every so often for a few days then going off sick again) and am back properly after half term thats bad enough without the hormones being involved too.

Good luck Nymphadora. Hope all goes well with the return.

Gp did say that if it is too much - mainly as she knows how much I am stressing over the forth coming consltant's appointment and outcomes TBH - to go back and sign off again until after that.

Thank Hula.

if you do get stressed its not going to help anything, your health is more important (I am learning that!)
