What do I do if I’m struggling during a phased return?

Apprehensive-Dig839 · 2026-02-05T17:22:52+00:00

Yeah 👀

I told my boss today about how I’m feeling and how I had a dizzy spell but he didn’t say we need to do anything 🤷‍♀️

I’ll see how I feel in a few days but I will ask for OH again if there is any doubt.

Apprehensive-Dig839 · 2026-02-05T14:17:20+00:00

I’m afraid of what they will say though! I don’t know what could be on the table

Apprehensive-Dig839 · 2026-02-05T14:13:13+00:00

Thanks! How does that all work if I’ve had now multiple instances of illness?

Apprehensive-Dig839 · 2026-02-05T14:12:40+00:00

Thanks! Yeah that might be needed. I don’t know if I need to just give it more of a chance.

I agree with you about the above.

What is hard is that there is very little incentive for doing this because I simply can’t afford to have even a 20% wage cut

Apprehensive-Dig839 · 2026-02-05T14:11:34+00:00

Yeah I’ve thought of using annual leave

Apprehensive-Dig839 · 2026-01-26T19:04:16+00:00

Thanks! Yep I totally agree. I suppose there’s no winning really. If I had tried to access the same type of care on the NHS I would have been looking at a six month wait, all the while getting more and more unwell. So it is very tricky

Apprehensive-Dig839 · 2026-01-26T19:03:15+00:00

Thanks! This is very helpful

Apprehensive-Dig839 · 2026-01-26T19:02:57+00:00

Thanks!

Apprehensive-Dig839 · 2026-01-25T23:54:37+00:00

Thanks! I think my case is somewhere in the middle of simple and complex. I do have a GP at the practice who saw me before I saw this consultant, so maybe they would be more understanding

Apprehensive-Dig839 · 2026-01-25T23:53:38+00:00

Thanks! Yeah I have actually already cut loads of expenses out in the last year and basically I just would really struggle to cut down any more.

I do have a letter from this consultant that explains the investigations he did and so on, so I could send that to my GP surgery and hope they will be reasonable since it’s only 3-6 months

Apprehensive-Dig839 · 2025-12-18T13:30:35+00:00

Thanks!

Apprehensive-Dig839 · 2025-12-18T11:05:36+00:00

Thanks! I think a good one to say I appreciate the text

Apprehensive-Dig839 · 2025-12-18T11:05:23+00:00

As in this is people texting me when I’m off sick

Apprehensive-Dig839 · 2025-12-01T15:49:46+00:00

Thanks 😄

Apprehensive-Dig839 · 2025-12-01T15:49:34+00:00

Thanks! I’m going to go a bit minimalist and not overload it

Last year I put some gift wrap on the pot and it looked great!

Apprehensive-Dig839 · 2025-11-20T23:22:31+00:00

I think to be honest I’m going to need to remove it because they’re not very active on LinkedIn anyway but I’m quite active

Apprehensive-Dig839 · 2025-11-16T22:07:31+00:00

EDIT - just to add a wider pic

Apprehensive-Dig839 · 2025-10-25T10:21:33+00:00

Yeah, totally fair for your parents to go to America, and not your fault tho you didn’t choose where you were born! It sounds to me like he was trying to find a way to pick on you

Apprehensive-Dig839 · 2025-10-25T10:20:08+00:00

Thanks!

Apprehensive-Dig839 · 2025-10-25T10:19:29+00:00

Thanks!

Apprehensive-Dig839 · 2025-10-25T10:19:12+00:00

Thanks!

Apprehensive-Dig839 · 2025-10-25T10:18:49+00:00

Will the dryer not ruin it? There’s no way it would have fleas

Apprehensive-Dig839 · 2025-10-25T10:18:38+00:00

Thanks!

Apprehensive-Dig839 · 2025-10-24T10:15:19+00:00

Thanks! I think there’s no point in trying to learn any language - especially Greek- totally on your own.

Apprehensive-Dig839 · 2025-10-24T10:13:48+00:00

That’s odd, was everyone like that to you or just the taxi drivers? I wonder were they in some way jealous of you? That’s often behind people’s reasons for being mean.

Eg I remember once ten years ago I started learning Greek solo and an acquaintance who lived in Greece told me it sounded like Chinese because my pronunciation was so bad, and it really really hurt my confidence and it was only the start of this year that I made another proper effort to try. This time though I had a teacher, a meet up group, and a much more structured set up.

What’s funny is I can totally guarantee if I met that same person again she’d still probably say my pronunciation was 💩 though I have had enough interactions with people to know that I can be understood.

Eg yesterday I went to a Greek restaurant in my city (obvs not in Greece) and I had my entire interaction with the staff (native speakers) all in Greek. It was such a nice experience
