'How was it on the ride to the pub' and 'fine thanks' may have helped

It's the small details as Miss Marple says

I don't think they get many cyclists!

I went to Occy Health with my missus today. Doc will sign me fit for a phased return but an extended one. Need to work out with my employer how many hours I can do and when I can come back - my sick note has ended, so don't know when to extend to. My wife is "cross" I might be going back too quickly !!

Good news is an interim payment should arrive shortly to cover my loss of earnings (1/2 pay started last week). Hopefully this will tide me over until I get back to work.

Realistically looking at the beginning of June before the Occy Health report is done, and at least a 'supportive' chair is ordered (or found spare).

Being at home, especially in bad weather, is driving me nuts, especially as I can't go out riding. The weather hasn't been bad the last week or so, but out comes good weather, and I do too much. Must slow down.

Feeling a little more hopeful.

PS I'm also getting snappy with everyone - need a 'purpose' in life, and staring at four walls most days isn't fun. You also get 'cut off' from people.

hard to not over do it really. I'm in the same boat. have to get the house clean for the landlady to get her photographer in to 'let' the place again. I'm the only one at home during the day, so the only one that can do it all.... back is hell at the moment. been through so much morhphine, I will have nothing left for Australia!

I have dyed my hair, it turned out OK which means I won't have to wear a hat to work tomorrow.

I know. Stuff needs doing, the wife has had to do some extra hours to cover holidays (despite her hours being cut). I'll get washing done and dried, but the bending to sort it out is beyond me. I get sore doing jobs, but I've always been fearsomely independent - that's my problem. I won't give up, but I get grumpy.

The Occy Health GP was asking why I won't take pain killers. It's associated with a hormone issue I have as I'm not currently on any 'replacement' and haven't been since getting out of hospital. Opioid based pain killers have a big affect on hormones. He asked about NSAIDS and I responded that my specialist said they slow bone regrowth. I also mentioned I won't take ami, pre-gabalin etc due to side effects and had tried the lot. I mentioned sleep was still an issue, then he honed in on weather I could concentrate at work. I explained I'd been having difficulty, but that's out of boredom. I wouldn't know until I got back to work, and taking heavy doses of pan killers would zap my mental ability (my job needs this).

You can't win.
