Well, it's back to work this morning after being on a medical-induced 3 day leave, thanks to my doctor. I had a nasty case of bursitis in my hip & couldn't walk without a cane.
Tuesday was one of my co-worker's birthday and she had plans. Unfortunately, she ended up working for me so I'm sure I'll be treated like garbage today. Oh well. It's their problem--not mine. I didn't ask to get bursitis and there was nothing that I could do to avoid it.
I'm sure that with the RA & Fibromyalgia that I have I'll be either calling in sick or that the doctor will take me off work more often than I would have than if I'd be perfectly healthy. It's just the nature of the beast, and I don't expect them to understand. However, I also don't think that they need to give me the cold shoulder due to having to take time off.
Ok, vent over!!
Wishing all of my CafeMom Angels a Fantastic Friday and a Wonderful Weekend!!

Hey girl you know they will just have to deal with it. I went through it when I was first diagnosed and actually lost a job because of missing to much and being late too much, but don't let that worry you, that was in 2001 when almost nobody had heard of fibromyalgia. It was also the type of job that I did that they needed to be able to depend on me, but then they further messed me up, by fighting me collecting unemployment. I don't know why that mattered to them, it wasn't their money anyway, it was the governments money. No big deal now. And then I got pregnant and the rest is history. I became a stay at home mom and then was diagnosed with manic deppression diorder and I haven't been able to work since. You just have to keep your head and your spirits up and you will be fine. I know how bad fibro is by itself, but to have RA too! Man! Well we know you are going to be just fine. Send me a message and let me know how you are doing and just keep hanging in there. TTYL!
