So I work every 6th weekend. The others who work every weekend seem to think that those of us who manage a group of core patients have it easy, especially those in nursing home assigments. So I got the crappiest assignment, involving driving over 3.5 hours, in addition to my 2 hour commute, I kept getting ad ons, and am now so far behind....My butt hurts despite ice and my pillow , pain meds and nifedipine. I am thinking Monday I should take off to heal it a bit. Would I be an "ass" if I got a note from my doc on the weekend to limit driving to a certain amount, there is no reason one person should have been split up and going to so many places. Like I said, it is like one of those things we endure, but this is ridiculous. OR should I suck it up. DOes all that sitting do damage? My boss is generally cool, she works with me on this, she will even shorten up my miles when she can, but she isn't in control of the weekend.
