Work restrictions?

Mary • Mommy to Olivia💖 8.30.08 and Matthew 💙 7.17.19

Yesterday at my dr appointment I was placed on some at work restrictions, a) don’t lift more than 25lb, b) no rapid movements, and c) take lots of breaks. As a preschool/daycare teacher this will require some major adjustments. Of course I have no issue doing it but I’m worried what my work will say. Anyone have a similar experience? How did your work handle it? Also, what protections do I have?
