So I am two weeks post op as of yesterday, which also means its time for me to return to work as my surgeon only covers up to 13 days off after surgery. I must admit I am ready to go back to work, even though I am not on the schedule until Friday. I still tire very easy so working four days in a row is probably going to drain me.
Ironically my supervisor called me yesterday to see how I was doing and when they would "expect" me back and also if I needed anymore time off. I don't really know if she is being genuine in her concern or just going through the motions. Probably the later of the two. I have no choice, I have to come back. I was 74 hours short of getting an FMLA. Another irony even though I work in hospital where there are sick people all the time, it is not acceptable if one of their own get sick. I mean c'mon, you can't make an exception. Like my cancer was supposed to wait another 74 working hours so I could qualify for FMLA? So what are they supposed to do when I need time off for radiation treatments? I told my supervisor I would need radiation, and she was like well you could just take an intermittent leave and I was oh ok, we'll that was only if I had FMLA so big fail there. So what do I do. Work 74 hours before radiation? Oh well I guess we will cross that bridge when we get to it, but bigger things await me, bigger than that hospital! Although I can't be mad. If it wasn't for the hospital I would have never known I had cancer in the first place. I just wish for a life that has the chance to flourish they wouldn't be so hard to work with. After all this is life and death we are talking about. Only God has the right to play God, not human resources.
