Holiday Day 2: The Physio

[selenay936]

Today was my initial physio appointment/assessment so that the physio can work out what I need. After much bending, stretching, walking and flexing, she has decided that I have surprisingly weak hips considering how well I walk and move. Huh. And that my back problems are probably related to my workstation so I should get the occupational whatsit

We have a health and safety person, who assesses your workstation. I have a feeling that they have to have someone who does that, and if you need something they have to buy it. You'd think, that with a bigger company they wouldn't mind buying things like ergonomic keyboards, as they're really cheap in comparison to their whole budget, but then this is your work we're talking about :)

Yup, this is my work we're talking about :-)

But I will try to point out how much money they'll save in sickness payments if they make the effort to ensure I have a workstation that's properly fitted for me. If that doesn't make any difference then I'll have to insist on an actual, real, god-honest diagnosis for the back pain, but at the very least my work can darned well make sure that it ain't their fault.
