“I used up all my sick days so called in dead…”

…was the choice of T shirt slogan he briefly contemplated for dress down day at the office today. Yep, Alan is back at work, today is his second day. Part time for now, as we assess how his energy levels and voice hold out. He still sounds like Grampa Simpson having a rough day, and is still waiting for speech therapy appointments, but was going stir crazy at home. He needed to be doing something more productive. He went in for a visit last week, and his boss was relieved at his decision too - “just give me a shout if you need anything….” If only!

Thankfully he decided against that t-shirt. His sense of humour may have returned, but he wasn’t sure about his boss…
