Work in a group home. When to return to work.



Recommended Posts

I know that everyone's case is different. But, on average, how long should I stay out of work? I work in a group home with 6 mentally, physically, and behaviorally challenged individuals.

I do work latenights, so they are asleep most of the time. I also help them out in the morning with getting ready for day programs. (Bathing, medications, Breakfast, etc).

I also do this work and as long as your not lifting or doing extended bending over you can probably go back in like four days. I know i could have but i took my whole week cause i could not cause i needed to.

I had my surgery friday at 5pm and i felt fine physically today, my incisions feel great... they have me on a liquid diet like most... im only allowed 59 calories a day for 7 days -

Breakfast- 3T - Protein Drink, 3T- broth, 3T of Jello

Lunch- 3T - Protein Drink, 3T- Broth, 3T of Jello

Dinner- 3T - Protein Drink, 3T- Broth, 3T of Jello

So i have to say i feel really weak... total lack of energy... but my healing is awesome and body feels great... just kind of out of it...

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
