Signed off

Went to the doctor on Monday. I have sacroiliac joint pain. It hurts. I have co-codamol - hopefully they will allow me to sleep, but last time I took them they made me really spaced out and trippy. Doctor also told me to self certify for a week, and go back to her next Monday if there is no improvement. I'm on a (short) waiting list for the obstetric physiotherapist, so if I can do that this week while I'm off anyway, that should get things sorted somewhat - here's hoping! I was just thinking it would have been good to know I was going to be off and I could have brought home some marking to catch up on! As it is I know I've left my desk in a mess, and with the schools maternity policy lying on it with my notes scribbled on (ready for my appointment that I missed with the Head this morning!) Good thing about being off though is I guess missing parent consultations on Thursday (a class I share with another teacher, who will regretably get lumbered with all the appointments...) and a staff training day. Ah well... all for my little baby, who incidentally has decided that now that I am in pain it is the ideal chance for a true aerobic workout!
