occ health

Last night I went to see "The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones" with S. I had absolutely no idea what it was about but I enjoyed it. I'm regretting not reading the book first. Luckily, there are five books in the series so I'll need to get them onto my kindle. Good thing about the kindle is I'll still be able to read after my surgery since I won't need to hold it like a book. 

On Tuesday my manager text to let me know that the dreaded occupational health will be contacting me on Wednesday (yesterday). I have absolutely no idea why. I spoke to them in July and despite telling her it was painful to hold a phone she kept me on the phone for over twenty minutes, just being very repetitive. It shouldn't have taken that long for her to take a note of me saying what my GP advised and to let me know what work can do with regards to breaks, ergonomic keyboard. Anyway, so they were to call for an update which is pointless considering I have my surgery booked for next week and there is nothing occ health can do unless they can wave a magic wand and take the pressure off my median nerve. I missed the call. They didn't leave a message and the number was withheld so I can't call back. 

Five days. My surgery is in five days. I feel sick about it. I know it's a very common procedure but there's still the risks. I'm also worried about how much damage has been done to my nerve since it was deemed too severe for cortisone injections. Five days isn't long at all.
