[SENco-forum] Broken leg-sympathy and advice needed

Hi Linda

Sorry to hear about your ankle.  Our digital media manager (aka my daughter)
suffered a triple spiral fracture of her shin bone whilst skiing on 6th
March.  She had a 300mm plate put in and luckily no cast.  However after
about 10 days, we sorted her out with a VPN computer access to our server at
work and she was able to do her work from home.  She started off at about 2
hours a day but within 2 weeks was up to about 70%.  She returned on
crutches this week.

We have a digital telephone system, so we simply routed calls on her DDI to
our home number and added the phone number as an extension.  Worked a
treat!!

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but its quite easy to carry on working
from home these days :):):)

Alex

I have managed to break my ankle bone and now am in a cast. I will take
sympathy for granted so you don't need to send flowers!! But I was wondering
if other people have some advice especially about an enforced absence from
work.(I'm a secondary school SENCO) Did you "work from home" via emails
/phone calls etc? About six years ago I had a lot of useful practical advice
from senco forum when I broke my right wrist. At least this time I can type!
I expect to spend a lot of time on the computer. I have been home four days
now and am getting fed up already!
