Before going on thre pump a month ago i had been really struggling with my diabetes and had had to have some time off , just been into work and we have come to an agreement that because of the Disability Discrimination Act and because i have been off with diabetes that i can go back 3 days a week instead of 5 days a week temporarily for up to 6 months or until i feel better , i feel much my at peace with myself knowing ive not got to struggle with work 🙂
 
This sounds like a very positive step forwards. I hope everything works out for you and you feel completly better soon.
 
Excellent news its good to have a such a caring employer 🙂
 
Am pleased for you Jenny, remember when I did the same several years ago - was such a relief. Don't work at all now though - even better! Oops did I say that??
 
Sad to say it hasnt always been plain sailing :( had to get union involved a couple of times but they have got a lot better 🙂 Flutterby wish i could join you 😉
