Off work and bored

This is week 3 of me being off workwith cracked ribs!!  My GP didnt think there was any point in sending me for an x ray as they said there isnt anything they can do anyway, which is really frustrating as I would like to know how bad it is compared with the last time as the pain was a lot more intense this time.I ahve been given a line for my work for 4 weeks but she said it would be a miracle if I felt ok to go back to work then.. I do feel as if it has improved ten-fold in 3 weeks, but then I go out for a few hours at the weekend with my hubby and it feels worse, so maybe I'm not ready yet.I'm not the type of person to be sitting around the house and am really bored!!  I do a little around the place but try not to overdo it as I really want to get back to my job.  I moved 350 miles to Scotland almost 7yrs ago after meeting Colin on the internet, leaving all my friends and family down south.  I havent regretted it at all but I really do miss my friends, it is so difficult even after being here so long to make friends and I am a really easy person to get on with, but at my age it is harder as people have already forged their own friendships over the years and you havent got those "past experiences" to share with them all, so to be able to get out to work is important to me and helps a great deal.  Anyway enough of me going on, I'm going to iron a couple of shirts for my hubby for work next week.
