I will have been away from work for 22 day as of this coming wednesday. It all started because of a sinus infection from a big allergy attack, so i took two sick days off. I had already put in for two vacation days prior to that. Those two was the next shift after the first sick days. I was supposed to go back to work yesterday but my back went out on me this past wednesday. I tried to go to work yesterday but it was just hopeless. I couldn’t have done the job had I been called out, so I took two more sick days off. That’s a total of 6 work days off which means 22 days away from the station. I explained how that all works in a prior post. I just hope my back is ready by this Thursday. It seems as though it will be, if nothing else happens to it. It’s somewhat better today. I’ve been to the chiropractor two or three times and the doctor once in the last 4 days. I’m alternating heat and cold three times a day and taking robaxin 4 times a day, that’s a muscle relaxer. I take hydrocodone when necessary. The other two guys at the station are getting a lot of overtime, but I know they are ready for me to be back.
