Last Wednesday my arbo-arts (the doctor that basically is hired by your employer to see to it that you don’t fake your illness) decided that I could be working 50% of my time again. From 0 to 50% in just a consult of 30 minutes. Tops. He looked at me, talked to me (but did not listen), did some tests (which I specifically asked him not to do because it really hurts me but he did not listen) and decided it was time for 50%. Doing 4 hours a day at home seems to be not a big problem. When I’m in pain, I can lay down, or do some excercises. Go for a walk. Basically anything other then sitting behind the computer. Working at home means I don’t have to drive to work, driving seems to worsen the pain. Thursday I went to work, and did my thing. Since Friday I am home again. This weekend I had more pain than before. Today the pain is almost back to normal, so we’ll see what I can do tomorrow. Going to work means about an hour drive, working 4 hours without the opportunity to lay down or so, and drive back home again. This is supposed to be good for me, the arbo-arts judged. An arbo-arts is like a GP, not a specialist of any kind. But obviously he thinks he knows best….
