I’m extremely nervous to go back to work after being off for a month. My husband got into a motorcycle accident and broke his femur bone. He not only got a metal rod in there but a hip replacement. I took some time off work to care for him as he has no one else. I am due to go back June 4th and I’m not entirely sure if I should go back yet. My husband still can’t walk on his own. Still needs assistance getting in bed sometimes, showering. I mean, we have come a long way and a lot of the things he couldn’t do on his own, he can now. He is finally wearing jeans so that also tells me he’s not in so much pain anymore. As he was only wearing sweat pants to be comfortable because he couldn’t move his leg. He went today without his medication all day, until we got home late in the evening. I was very happy to see that. His therapist told us today she thinks he only need a couple more weeks before he can walk on his own which is great news!

He has a construction company which requires him to be at job sites at least 2-3 days out of the week and when I go back to work, I won’t be able to take him. This makes me very nervous as he brings majority of the money home and well, it is his job. But I also have my job I need to take care of. We are due to leave for New York July 17th so I wouldn’t want to go back no later than my due date because I don’t want to upset my manager if I only go back for a couple of weeks and I’m gone another week for a vacation after being gone for so long. I can extend my due date but I don’t know if I should.
