Why cant I stop thinking about...
And stressing about work? My last day of work is next Friday and I won't be going back to wor****il August 6th. I will be having surgery on July 2nd I started training the person who will be covering me today until All of next week. He is doing fine, but I have been at my job for about 6 years and I am basically in charge and the only one knowledgeable in what I do. The guy I am training seemed fine but a little nervous too. My job is the type of place that will call and bug me on my vacation days, sick days even when I was at the hospital to be with my dad (life death type situation) I had called off and they kept on calling me and telling me I had to come in cause noone was there to cover me, So my dumb ass went to work even though I was all stressed and tiery eyed because my dad was soo sick, and that was just ONE day that I missed. My bosses know already that I am not going back till August and they seem like they are okay about me having this long time off, but I have a feeling that I will be getting alot off calls during my time off work. My hubby already told me that I am NOT allowed to take any work related calls while I am recovering. I should be more happy and excited about my vsg, Why am I sooo worried about my job not being able to survive without me? Must be the ocd in me, lol. Did any of you go thru this or feel this way before surgery?
Oh yes and planning on plastics in october I'm already a nervous wreck. I have the same type of job. I took off two days last week and everything basically fell apart so I'm a nervous wreck, but I keep telling myself they are going to have to learn to do it without me and I have to do something for me.

You are a responsible human being. It is normal to worry about what you are leaving behind. I told my boss about my research into surgery and said that the only reason I was considering it was because I'd heard people can go back to work within a week. She said, "We are talking about your health for the next 15-20 years... you will take as much time as you need." Still... I'm only planning to take two weeks, and hope to be able to do it at a time that will not be a hardship for those I leave behind.
Take the time that you need. They will surely be grateful for your return and won't take you for granted in the future. All the best to you on your journey!

The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again while expecting a different result. It's time to try something new!
I am in the same boat. I'm in charge and the whole shop would fall down without me. When I'm not there they call me. I can't be away from there and not worry about the place. I know when I have my surgery they're gonna drive me nuts and I'll probably end up going back way before I'm really ready to...but.. I'm gonna sure try to stay home and heal, ....and not worry
Gabby you stress because you have a strong work ethic. I do too. Before I
retired I would go in earlier than I was supposed to; I always took on every
problem that came because everyone came to me to solve issues; I would
jump in and take care of backlog and ended up, obviously, stressing to the
point that I had to retire. People with strong work ethics always get taken
advantage of, and give more of themselves than many others in a work
situation. Take my word for it - that place did fine before you came along, and
it will survive when you leave. Your husband is right in not wanting you to take
any work related calls. This little experience will make them appreciate you
more than you can know. I remember every time I went on vacation, or took
a day off they were kissing my feet when I walked back in. Everything will be
fine. Take time for you Gabby. Remember you are doing something for
your health, and you deserve it. Hugs, and all the best wishes for a speedy
recovery.
