Today is 17 months post injury for Thad and it also marks Day 1 of the next leg of his journey.
He first attempted going back to work last April – then had a setback in May – started building up again in June and made it up to almost 23 hours a week before the next setback at the end of September.
This time – the doctors reduced his hours considerably. He was working a couple of days and then therapy on the other days. He has been working as hard as he could. Seriously – he has been busting it with therapy and limited work hours. And it has taken a toll.
At our last doctor’s appointment, there was a lot of discussion about what is best for Thad long term … we prayed, we had meetings with other members of his care team and with his HR team (and yes – his work has been so incredibly supportive since the day of the accident)!
Today the decision was made for Thad to go back to full time long term disability so that he can get some needed rest and focus exclusively on his healing.
Please keep my hunky man in your prayers as he works through this transition. God’s got this and we both know it is absolutely what is best for him long term!
