Been off work  nearly 6 mths after major knee surgery..trying to get back to work on rehab and getting the feeling i not wanted as im a burden in my role..NHS...they moan when you off and they moan when u go back..had barely any support from work during this time apart from 2 very close friends who.been amazing and my family of course....wished i cud stay home with my family and animals all day..scared to go back this week as atmosphere be vile..rant over...

Aw, Heidi, that sounds dreadful.  Not just having to get over the surgery  but then your colleagues being awful to you.  I can't imagine how horrible that feels.  {{{hug}}}

Oh dear heidih, thats really not what you need after sick leave is it?  Hope it isn't quite so bad as you fear. 

[The Woodsiders]

Good luck, go look em straight in the eye.

[tazbabe]

goodness, that's not a desirable way to feel about going back to work!

i am off myself at the moment, and likely to be so for around 3 months. i also work for the nhs, and have had the opposite experience so far! my workmates have been texting and calling, chatting on fb, and some have even been to see me even though i live 'out in the sticks'.

it is at these times that you need the support of those around you, and i am actually missing seeing my workmates, its such a shame that you can't feel the same due to their attitude.

i hope it resolves for you!

aww thanx guys, ..im popping into work tom to get some shifts sorted!..hope it isnt as bad like you say.! sad really when im passionate about my job..tazbabe..hope you get well soon.xxx

I cant see that you have a problem myself. From what you have said it is them with the problem to me. Just hold your head high and know that you are better than them as you would not treat people that way! They dont pay your wages so just do your job, ask for help if needed and if they wont give it ask someone higher than them and tell them why you are asking. If you act like you have not been away they will too I am sure. Good Luck and dont worry , you have done nothing wrong

No wonder I can't get a doctors appointment

    that's funny!!


Heidi don't let it get to you. Go in, do your work and let smallminded people have their smallminded opinions.
I used to work for the NHS, I was a nursing sister on a gynae dept, I think when you work for a notoriously short staffed organisation, sickness becomes quite a taboo in that it only takes one person to be poorly for the workplace to become even more stressful. None of this is YOUR fault though, you can't help being ill!! 
It will pass with time, you will be back in the swing of things and they will find someone else to grizzle about!

Heidi, I hope it goes better than you expect.

If they keep treating you badly, ask them if they want you to go home again. Maybe that'll make them stop and think about what they are doing...

For goodness sake, it's the NHS - they should know about being sick and getting rehabilitated! If they can't crack that, who can?! I keep my fingers crossed for you that it'll sort itself out in no time. All the best!
