Ankle Fracture return to work

Published

Hi ? 

Nine weeks ago I fractured my tib/fib at the ankle. I had to have an ORIF. I had only just started a new job six weeks prior to the break. I was given a relocation bonus. Doctor cleared me for weight bearing 4 days ago & I am getting more concerned about if or when I will ever be able to go back to the bedside. I know its only been 4 days and I need to give it more time. I'm concerned that if I'm unable to go back to working in the hospital that I will have to repay the relocation. Is anyone familiar with this type of thing? I'm already financially hurting because of the fracture. Any advice? 

How did it work out for you?
