I haven't been through this sub in ages and there's ~someone~ missing. Can anyone enlighten me?

.... With like minded people who genuinely want to be there, without spamming other similar communities? Thanks in advance for any help

I am a groom on a local yard and have been since February. During this time I had up until now, just one day off, with a c. Diff infection; the yard manager actually sent me home as I tried to go in.

However I recently managed to sustain a concussion at home working in the garden. This led me to take time off and I ended up in hospital as I was slurring, had extreme pressure and fuzzy vision in one eye, and not sure my age or the day. It was just over two weeks ago and I'm very frustratingly still suffering with symptoms like extreme fatigue, brain fog, words being on the tip of my tongue but I can't find them, dizziness and mental health symptoms. I had a sick note from the hospital saying my return should be phased, which I sent to my manager's manager, which she has 'seen' (all work communications happen via WhatsApp) but not responded to.

Since yesterday I've had 2 messages asking when I'll be back as the YM fell off on Friday and is now in a boot that's making walking difficult.(She doesn't work weekends).

0 I'm feeling really pressured to go back to my normal hours and whilst I do miss it, I'm still only managing my own horses' care with help from my mother but I'm worried the work animals will get subpar care if I don't go back. (E.g wet not being taken out of stables, water buckets left dirty - all of which has happened previously). I really don't know what to do. I'm still recovering - before this role, I wrote for a magazine, but just this post has taken over 35 mins to write - but don't know what to do. It's not helpful I'm a huge people pleaser and feel very attached to some of the horses. I'm also quite worried about money; sick pay hasn't been discussed and I'm fairly sure I won't get it, as I'm not paid for overtime I do.

Sorry this is really long ..... Please don't be too harsh I'm not sure I can take it right now
