My short term ran out and I was on LTD with employer for one month before I went back, now it's partial LTD. If I don't work 40 hours, they pay the difference. The insurance company told me they don't advertise it but it is an incentive to get us back to work. An aunt works in the courthouse and somehow there she learned that people with ostomies can get government disability. She said something like 9 out of 10 people. (I have a bunch of people pushing me towards it but I rather wait to see how I handle the JPouch if I ever get it)
I get tired during the work day but it is actually much better. When I first went back to work, I was yawning by 11:00 am. (sometimes 10:00!) Now it is more like 3:00 or 4:00 and I've even started throwing in treadmill work on my 15 minute breaks (my job has a small gym for us).
Today I did the treadmill on my 15 minute breaks. Left work, went to the hospital for an unrelated ultrasound then went down one of the halls I lived on during my 6 week stay and said hi to one of my favorite nurses. I didn't go on the other floor I spent a lot of time on but I will next time.
