I am feeling so supported at my work today. I had a meeting with my boss and explained the situation to her about my concerns re infection risk. She listened and was very supportive and agreed I need to minimise risk especially leading up to my operation.
I have asked if I can arrange with the other Social Worker for her to take any patients which pose an infection risk from now on. She agreed. How good is that!
Not only did she agree, but she is going to ask the bigger boss to approve special leave for the week before to further minimise risk before my operation! This would be a week of paid leave. So pleased!
It’s nice to feel valued and supported as I begin the countdown to my operation.
