First Day Back to Work

So today was my first day back at work. I am working 3 shifts this week - today, tomorrow and Friday from 9am-1pm. Work went really well. I'm on modified duties to start with so I was doing a lot of basic tasks like catching up on some forms that needed filling out, laundry, emptying and loading the dishwasher, helping with lunch prep, etc. The guys who I work with seemed really happy to see me again which was nice. The OT (from the clinic) warned that my symptoms would probably be more pronounced and she was right - by the time I was done today I had a raging headache, so much so that a few times while driving home I was wondering if I should be driving. Thankfully I made it home in one piece :)

I relaxed a bit after returning home and set out for my massage appointment only to get to the clinic and find out that whoever booked all my appointments with me forgot to enter the one today (we booked them all at the same time over the phone). I think I must have looked foolish just standing there at the counter but I just stood there looking at her in disbelief waiting for her to fix it but she just said sorry and that there weren't even any other appointments available this week so I was out of luck and when I didn't just leave she just kind of gave me this dirty look and said "I already said sorry, there's nothing else I can do". So I ended up leaving and I know I shouldn't let it get to me but I'm really upset about this. WCB is very strict about their rules: I am allowed 3 half hour massages per week for 5 weeks. That's 15 in total but they have to be all 3 in the same week and I am not allowed to have 2 appointment back to back, they have to be on separate days. I booked this appointment for today more than 3 weeks ago. So now because I can't fit a third one in this week I'm just out of luck and don't get to go for it. And the massages are the ONLY thing that help to ease my headaches from being raging to manageable. (I have tried medications and they don't help even a little bit). Ok, deep breath. It's not the end of the world. That's another problem, though, with a concussion: even little things can end up being HUGE deals and I find it hard to get past them sometimes.

I put a call in to my WCB contact person to see if there is anything that can be done to allow me to still make up the appointment. I also have some other questions about a few things too but I'm guessing that I won't hear back from her until tomorrow now since it's already 5pm.
