I have a question about work and T. I have been sick for a week and missed my last T session. I was also banned from work because of being sick at least until tomorrow (work at a medical facility). Occupational Health says I have to be symptom free for 24hrs before I go back to work. I am still feeling really run down today and slept most of the day. I am scheduled for T tomorrow morning, however, I feel that if I'm not well enough to go to work (though I never would have thought I would still feel run down at this point since the fever has been gone 2 days) I'm not well enough to go to T. Kind of like when you are a kid and if you can't go to school then you can't go out to play (not that T is really play, but I hope you get what I mean.) In some ways I feel that since I can't figure this out myself I'm probably not ready to go back to work. But I don't want to miss my T appointment. Advice? Plus I tried to call my T for her advice but she didn't pick up and I couldn't get myself to leave a message.
Thanks.

So I called my T back and she picked up (I was going to leave a message this time). She agreed that I was probably still sick and can see her later this week instead.

good work on calling T again!!

i have only dragged myself to T once when i was ridiculously sick, and pdoc was very nice about it, but my brain was too much of mush to do anything useful. pdoc just gave me a lot of sympathy (i lapped it up! such a wuss when i'm unwell ) and sent me on my way. it wasn't a very useful session, though, as far as things go that needed to be addressed.

so i'm glad you've been given the opportunity to see your T later this week: it means you'll be in better shape for therapy, and also have more time to heal.

get well soon!

((((((((((((((((googley))))))))))))))))

Hope you feel better soon

Thank you both. I am feeling better. I will be able to get more out of T since my mind isn't so fuzzy. My T said that I should call any time I'm unsure if I should come in. I was especially nervous since I exposed her to whatever I had last week before I knew I was getting sick. I didn't want to take the chance of doing that again. 'night!

A few weeks ago I was sick, and I emailed T and told her I was sick and asked if she had a preference about me showing up or not. I had been feeling run down for 2 weeks, and had been to the doctor and it wasn't helpful, but I was still going to work because I couldn't afford to take off that much time. She said she doesn't tend to get sick (there's no contact with anybody else), so it was fine to go. And she offered sympathy for me being sick. But I wasn't very able to make use of the session, and I needed rest, and driving across the state to see T pushed me over the edge into really being sick so then I did have to miss work for a couple of days because I had a fever and wasn't able to function. So it was nice of her to let me go even though I as sick, but not what was best for me.

Not being sick is really nice though, once you actually do get your energy back and feel better.
