There is the way people tell you it will go and then it probably would be amazing if it did go that way when returning to work after stroke or major medical life event. And to be quite honest, I hope it goes that way for you. I don't likelihood that it goes the ideal way is pretty slim.
The truth is without sugarcoating. It going back to work is going to be difficult for you for your family and for your employer. In this episode, we talk about the good the bad the ugly. There things that can make it easier for everybody involved and hopefully this is both hopeful and helpful.
It was not easy for me, but I really genuinely did not know how to navigate it very well at the time, and to be honest, I don't think any of us involved really had a clue just how hard it would be.
There are definitely some things to look out for along the way, and I try to highlight those in this episode.
The reality is, it is going to be one of the hardest challenge is your face of the many. Communication is one of the most important parts and if your company and you do it well in the beginning there is hope, but it does not come without a price and some learning along the way.
Chances are in this episode I over communicate and over explain but just know that if these things happen to me, they could happen to anybody, so I help is helps you get on the right path to returning to work if that impact is the goal, whether you stay working at the company you work for prior or you go onto another company or another profession and field I think all these skills are both able to be learned from and give you unique perspective as you more forward working in any capacity.
As always, please feel free to reach out to the show and let me know your experience. I am curious to hear of others have had similar experience and what are some things that you wish you knew sooner when it came to returning to work.
We'll see you in the next episode to touch on this a little bit, and share more insights and answer more questions about the process of stroke, recovery and the journey!
