Yes Celtic, that is what she's saying. Here in the states, some companies will only give you so much time off (never enough) to recover and then you either come back to work, or take LWOP (leave without pay).

Unless one is filthy rich, LWOP is not an option so many women return to work and they're bodies are not ready for this. Its so sad and downright WRONG!

I would gladly lend a hand in developing a brochure but who would you send it to? The best thing to do would be to start a campaign to get the workman's comp laws changed OR ... better yet, force the insurance companies to be more forgiving.

Moutain Ash, we will all be with you, and by all means, keep us posted!

Ureka...these are the differnces i am seeking to explore in another thread.
Celtic and Popea will know being this side of the "Pond"how ourn health service works.
Here you are signed off until able to work.Pay varies due to whatever contract you have from your workplace.
Family duties mean you may attempt too much but in my case after my hysterectomy I stayed off four months because I was in an active(lifting others) role.Had I been an office worker i would have returned sooner.Yet we are all women and need the same care.
The long term benefits of rest and return to normal help in the future care of gyna operations.Do walk and tone but lifing..no no.Even heavy shopping is out.

woooow thats scandalise and i din't honestly know that was the situasion with aftercare......thats just shocking...best of luck in doing what you can to change that situasion, it sertinly deserves the attension

celtic

yea mountain
we sertinly got a good deal with the NHS, thats why i got weired about going private for the gynie stuff not the paying off the monie.....i love to see the NHS service improved and i would't want to go private too often becouse of the arguments that it just lets government off of its proper upkeep leading to it being run down more etc..etc.

limited sick leave and no alternitive but to work is just crazienes being run by an orginasiasion thats majour concern is with capital...still trying to take in the full implicasions of limited aftercare or long term illness even. thats a big bit of news to me

I too went "private" recently.At one time we were entitled to BUPA but refused due to out political bias and the wish to keep the NHS.I rethought this and am pleased like you.
Times are changing but the service I have just had was marvellous..
take care

After I was severed from the doctor's care on 2/21 I enrolled myself in a wellness center locally. I talked to the physical therapist who set me up with an exercise routine with the goal of feeling more stamina and strenghtening my body to return to fulltime work on Monday, March 5. I've been going just about every day and it has made a difference. I feel more ready physically and emotionally. I am trying to be very conscious now of moving from healing to healed. I know that I will have to be careful and listen to my body but work beckons because bankruptcy is just around the corner if we don't get a regular paycheck coming in. Mountain Ash, I don't know what's happening to you but I'm concentrating energy and strength in your direction.

I happie to heer about your class and hope it's been effective for you and helped you reach your goals of stamina and strenth. Hope you will be well in your work i will be thinking about you.

whittle, I think exercise is as good for us emotionally as it is physically. Keep up the good work. Good for you for going to the wellness center. More and more of those are opening locally. I think it's great.
