Indianapolis, IN - Still waiting on occupational health

That title is right: I'm still waiting to return to work. Occupational health apparently "hasn't reviewed the paperwork yet" and thus I'm not cleared to resume driving. I faxed it in Wednesday afternoon - admittedly, I probably should have done it Monday - but there really isn't that much information that needs to be reviewed. The paperwork in question, relating to the FMLA and the company's own return to work form, is quite formulaic and the doctor filled out everything in as much detail as could reasonably be expected. I can't fathom a reason why it would take them more than a day to go through it, considering how few drivers are likely out on medical leave at any given time. In any event, this means I'm still out of work for the weekend and the next update I'll get on my status will be Monday.
