I found out this week that my company offers a month unpaid sick leave for every year of service. So, the next two weeks will not affect my job. Which is a big relief. The only problem is not getting paid....but I will work it out. Seems when you are not stressing, things have a way of working out. I'd given up worrying about it and was just focusing on getting better. And planning activities and thinks I need to do each day to get things a little more "normal". I'm taking my "little" walks and beginning to feel some better. I do plan on going back to work on January 8th and I have 32 hours a month I can use if things get to be too much. Again, unpaid, but if I need a few hours here and there, I've got them. And perhaps even plan some vacation time in the next month or 2. I made it back when I was diagnosed with a heart condition in 2008, and I can do it this time. And as a result of the medical stuff and the PEs, things are changing or will continue to change in my life. I have a new appreciation for my life. And....I am NUMBER ONE!!!!
