My Dr is only letting me increase to 3 hrs after the 26th. He says I'm still not strong enough for more because I still can't eat. The corporation I work for says I have to be back to work full time after 90 days of limited hours. So basically by Aprl 26th I need to be back full time. I don't know what I am going to do. I know he is right cause I can't work 2 hours in a row. I have to take a break half way through. I'm really afraid now... just another beautiful day in my life...
I went thru something similar to this after my gallbladder surgery in June 2013. I thought I would lose my job due to being unable to perform my job up to par postop. I did not lose my job. I'm still there. It's a shame. Employers really don't care about a worker's welfare, they just care about results. All I can say is follow your doctor's orders, take care of yourself, and do your best. Document everything. Have your doctor's work orders in writing. That way if the worst happens and they fire you, you will have some leverage with the unemployment or HR office. Best of wishes.
