I'm hoping for a bypass, was told no driving for at least 3 weeks, could be long as i'm gonna have open surgery. A figure of 4 weeks off work was mentioned but its all down to recovery of the individual i guess. I'm a secretary so as a rule don't do manual labour and to be honest if i dont feel up to doing any shifting/carrying of shedloads of records i'll darn well say so....

I started my job 2 weeks ago and told my manager the first week about my potential operation, i was going to use any annual leave i had for this year for my recuperation but HR said i can't. Sick Leave can't technically be booked in advance and i'm not to worry as i'll get full pay! So that's me sorted now. Just need a yes from the man from Del Monte now!
