Sort of. I've still got a lot of sick note left but the boredom is beginning to outweigh the pain[1]. Because I'm still officially unfit to work I've had to work a bureaucratic fix that gets round our H&S policies by going in as a visitor. The alternative of getting myself signed fit isn't too attractive as it still hurts, it's still in a sling and not moving and I haven't even started physio yet.
Commuting will be by taxi.
[1] Also, I'm beginning to get a little paranoid. How long can you be out of office before someone calculates that they could save an awful lot of money by making the arrangement permanent?

I sympathise with you. Last summer I had 7wls off work for a shattered shoulder and cracked pelvis (grass track racing). All I can say is don't push to get back. I did half days for a few weeks after the initial 7wks off, and was feeling fairly knackered by lunch time. The doctor has good reason to sign you off for that time. Make the most of it and repair yourself (I know it can be boring this time of year). I even found it difficult to sit at a PC for more than 10 minutes initially. I'm still attending physio and not fully signed off from the hospital (still got bruising coming out) after more than 6 months.

My brother in law took a sabbatical from his management job to get a fresh perspective on life. Half way throught the year the redundancy notice arrived. He became a taxi driver and loves it. He works long hours when there's plenty of customers and goes on holiday in the quiet periods (when he puts a hired hand in his car).
