Thank you all for your replies. A little update, after posting this, my boss called me and said there was a misunderstanding between him and our operations manager and he did want me to come back but that it was going to take a little more time for them to get me back into the office since they have had some major changes going on. All good for the company, they are growing pretty fast right now.
I personally think he realized I had a law suit on my hands and decided it was cheaper to bring me back.
All that being said, I really have no choice but to return because I need the insurance.
I really don’t know how long I’ll be able to work full-time. The surgery has me in a full on nasty flare and some days it’s a stuggle just to get out of bed!
I figure I have to try…if I can’t then I’ll look into federal disability. SSDI.
I do live in the U.S. btw…forgot to add that originally.
My boyfriend has been great but doesn’t completely understand why I can’t just go back and why I’m worried. I explained to him that I am in a flare but I honestly think he thinks I’m over reacting.
I am on so many pain killers and muscle relaxers and still have so much pain.
If I lose my insurance and can’t afford my meds, I know from first hand experience that the withdrawls are just horrible! Makes you really wish you could just die.
I have done nothing but lay in bed all day because I simply can’t do anything more than that. I’m lucky to make it to the restroom! How am I supposed to work full time? I am so scared of not being able to do it and look like an idiot for fighting for my job back in the first place…and even more scared that my boyfriend will think I just don’t want to work.
I wish I could explain more but I have to go lay back down again…
I will try to do a better job of watching the boards…i honestly wasn’t expecting much in the way of replies and was very pleasantly surprised.
You guys are the only ones who truly understand!
