Your employer had obviously worked out in advance what needed to be put in place for you, you had had occ Health input and you had been away from work long enough for these things to be worked out.
Some people are telling us that they went back to work almost immediately after the injury. I think that could have led to problems. I remember falling over when using crutches on a very smooth floor, one of the crutches slipped along the surface and took me with it, if that had been at work and I had banged my head on a desk corner and caused another injury, would the employer have been pleased that I was at work on crutches? Would it have been considered an industrial injury?
Being gung ho isn’t always a virtue.
