Confused just wanted to let you all know I received an email from my superviser to say I cannot work from home while I'm off sick following an operation, It was her idea that I did this.

In the last week, I was logging on remotely to work to do admin - just for an hour or two whilst my foot elevated.
Work insisted I can do this if the sick note/fit note says can work from home. The surgeon was happy to do this.
Now human resources say I should come into work (can't drive while rods in toes, and signed off sick to come into the work place). I did what was asked to cover human resources back/for insurance/litegation reasons.

Work say they can come to my home and do a dse assessment, or I return to work as my work station has reasonable adaptions - which is just a flat mouse with ball on top so my whole hand can move the mouse.
A chair was ordered under access to work scheme, being made.....not ready.

I'm shocked by the added stress, when I have done all they asked.

I decided my health more important, and try to get better, than further hasstles from work.
Have never been off sick with ra or anything related before. Did have good sickness record - over three years not off sick.

Just wanted to share this with anyone wanting to read my ramblings.
Feel better now.

There is good guidance in the 'Equalities Act leaflet/book on reasonable adjustments (its about 150 pages long) but it talks about reasonable adjustments and working from home, worth a look.
