OMG, I cannot believe this!! It's my last week of work before my surgery!! Next week I will be in the hospital (OMG!). Fortunately for me, our Short Term Disability through work approved me for a 5 week leave, so that's how long I am planning to be out. I am actually looking forward to the "break", lol. Terrible that we have to have our guts rearranged to get some time off, huh?

Anyway, I am excited, I just wanted to share that with everyone! 8 days and counting!!!

do you work in ri?  If so you are entitled to TDI and with FMLA you can be out up to 13 weeks...

I have 6 weeks off that I am sure of, because I will not see dr roye until may 29th... I hope hhe gives me one more week off after that...

Yes, I know I can be out up to 13 weeks under FMLA, but the 5 weeks I was talking about that I was approved for was how long I can be out and still be paid. We get TDI (like everyone else) and then our Short Term Disability covers us for whatever TDI doesn't pay to make up our full salary. 5 weeks is how long they have approved for me to be out and be paid.
