I would think that a meaningful discussion on your return to work would start with a clear and precise agreement and understanding of your work restictions/limitations. Your situation would likely require individually tailored transitional work and may result in less then a full-time assignment.
Such a program should be directed by a professional return-to-work specialist or vocational rehabilitation counselor.
have you initiated such a conversation with your employer?
when do you expect to be able to?
Right now i am in the process of Physical Therapy but have been told by SSDI that I can not return to my previous work. I have done that type of work for 35 years that is all i Know.
