So,
I got my stitches out and have more lovely scars, it's like tracks, but that's okay.. whatever, my supervisor at work when I talked to her today suggested polysporin so I'm going to try that...
I went to physio and had fun with them, my leg ached after and I hobbled a block and a half which hurt but I wanted to send something by post.
So anyway, today I had a teen here cleaning up my yard and such, she did an awesome job, she raked the entire yard, bagged all the garbage and loose stuff and even some doggie poop heh. She cleaned out the shed and organized it as well as dragged away the old part of the neighbours fence which ended up in the corner of my yard and put it in the trash. I paid her $10 an hour, she was here from 1pm to 4:30pm. I'm going to be a reference for her when she applies for regular jobs. I knew her from when she was in the system, she got out recently and went back home and called to see if I'd give her a reference so we made the deal, she do some work and I'll give her a work reference!
Anyway, I talked to my boss at work and we discussed it hardcore and they're gonna have me go in Tuesday and do some training to do the Dispatcher job, it's work from home!! I can do it until I'm ready to go back to the Home Support work. I can't do both jobs (like when I get better), you're either office or home support because of conflicts of interest/privacy/confidential info etc. But at least this way I'm WORKING, even if it's from home it's -work- it means I'm doing -something- aka earning the money coming in. It's not a lot of money but it's alternative work until I get better so I believe the insurance company will pay the difference until I'm healed and ready for regular work again.. although there was talk of if I did like the dispatcher job I could stay on doing that and do office work too part-time. Either way? I'm back to getting to work.
And depending on the hours etc, if I do stay doing this dispatcher stuff from home I can look at getting another casual/part-time job for when I'm not doing dispatch stuff.
I got Physio three times next week monday, wednesday and friday and work is willing to do training for dispatch Tuesday and Thursday! so YAY! I'm excited! I'm going to get better! I'm going to be all HEALED!
