After 10 months off work

[stormforce]

Well after 10 long months of being off work i am finally starting back next week.I have had the all clear that the hip has healed ok but need to go back in 3 months to see if i am still getting the aches and mild pains still but i can live with them now.
I am being put on a rehabilitation program as i have been off for so long and will do 2 days a week and gradually build up to full time again.
I may have to have another op yet to remove the screws in my hip as they are causing some discomfort but that will only be a day case job..
The only thing is i may not be able to go back to what i was doing originally and that was track maintenance.Only time will tell now so if i cant continue doing that then Networkrail will have to find me something else with less pay or lay me off.But i'm getting back to as normal as i can but keeping a look on the bright side of things still at the moment

Hope they find you a good job and not just a 'fob off' job . Take things easy and go back on the sick if it gets to much for you.

If and a big IF i get a decent enough payout then i said i'll walk as i aren't willing to put myself in this position again if i can help it.But if i don't then i have already stated that i will not be using any sort of machinery again like the one that caused the accident in the 1st place.

how about ultrasonics? got a friend on ultrasonics and he reckons all he does is walk the tracks with a motorised trolley and analyse the readings as he goes reporting any anomolies/defects. I'm sure it's not as simple as he makes out, it's not everyone's cup of tea and seems to involve a lot of nights, but i would guess it's one of the less physical railway maintenance jobs.

i have worked with the ultrasonics guys down here.They mainly do dayshifts here which would suit me better.i think there are up to 10 exams to take to get the higher level for ultrasonics and the trainning is exspensive.I wouldn't mind working with the off track gang which mainly deal with tree felling and fencing and also taking out level crossings etc and isn't much heavey work as such with that either

That's exactly what I was thinking!!

Great news Rich - I'm really pleased for you, but also mirror comments from others for you to take it easy, and don't let them try anything on!

People don't realise how hard things are for you when your not able to do things and how much pleasure you get when you can finally do something for yourself after 2 years
