Maintaining

Yesterday was my first day "home alone" after my sister spent the weekend with me and went home Sunday. I did fine, was able to do whatever I needed to, and wasn't in a great deal of pain. It was the first day I was able to use my left arm without wrapping it in an Ace bandage, too, so that was good. My neighbors have been very kind about walking my dog for me and I'm going to do something nice for them the very first chance I get. I have someone coming Wednesday and staying for about a week who'll also be a tremendous help to me, physically and emotionally. I'll be going to the doctor Thursday to get my sutures removed and I imagine he'll let me know then what I can and can't do and how long I'll have to be off work.

In all honesty, I'm not sure that I -- assuming I, in fact, still have that job to return to -- want to remain in that job. If it's still there, I may go back and then continue job searching. I just don't know if I want to work in a place where neither of the two people in the office at the time of my accident offered to call an ambulance for me or even helped me up off the floor. Admittedly, they both said they didn't realize how bad it was. Frankly, neither did I. Still, when an employee has had an accident and says she can't walk, it seems to me that the decent thing to do is offer assistance.

I guess the only thing to do at this point is wait and see how things play out. For example, I expect to hear something today from somebody about Workers Comp. If I don't, I don't think it's too soon to start looking for a Workers Comp attorney. And I do know some.

You guys have a Terrific Tuesday!
