It's so hard to get moving with a head cold. But I knew it would be best to lay low and take care of myself today. So I wrapped myself in a blanket and watched a Netflix movie, did lots of reading, watched last night's episode of American Idol, and tried to take a nap. I say 'tried' to take a nap, because I never really fell asleep, but was too tired to keep my eyes open to read. At least I was resting. The cold is no worse than yesterday. I'm hoping it stays in my head and doesn't move into my lungs adding a cough with it. So far so good.
I received two calls from the disability insurance company today. One was the "Return to Work Coordinator" checking on how I was doing. I asked her how to go about getting back to work. Seems easy enough after I talk with my doctor and set the date to return. The second call was someone asking me to talk with my doctor's office and ask them to release my records. Seems like they are slow to do their part. The insurance company needs to keep getting updates regarding my status to keep the claim open and their paperwork needs to be in order to transition from short-term disability to long-term disability. The long-term disability won't be needed since I plan to return to work before my 12-weeks of short-term disability runs out. I just need to get my doctor's admin moving on releasing my records with my return-to-work date.
The rain has taken a break today, but the weather report is showing it is coming back tomorrow and Saturday. If I had been feeling better, I would have gotten out for a walk in-between the storms. Looks like I'll be stuck indoors for the next day or two. Oh well, more rest will be good for me.
