Sorry to hear your disability was denied...praying all goes smoothly tomorrow! (((HUGS))) Hope to see you on Thursday!! ~Elizabeth

Hey Patti I'm sorry you have to go back sooner than you would like, ecspecially with that darn drain still in I still can't get over how awesome you and Jennifer did after you both had surgery so if anyone can rise to the occasion, it's "SUPER PATTI" Hopefully your co-workers will understand if there are days when you just can't put your "SUPER" cape on I'm praying for ya SIS. See ya Thursday OK Tonya

I am soooo looking foward to seeing you guys!!! You make me feel so good Tonya!!!! I think because you said that to me the first night it helped me along so much! You are awesome!!!! Patti

good luck sister!!!! p.s is your drain site starting to hurt and ooze some?? not like the normal yellow drainage on the gauze but like i see it ooze out of the hole... hoping its not something bad! but its "sore" now. Hope to see u thurs if not, then Fri! Jen

well girlie, i hate you have to work with that drain but good luck anyway. hang in there!!!!

I hope your day back at work is going okay. I know that drain is a real pain to have, much less being expected to actually function with it! I can't believe thay denied you Short term disability!! Some insurance companies really suck! Kathy

I'm really sorry about you not getting enough time resting. I've been planning this surgery for the last 2 years. Luckily the company I work for lets us roll over our sick time and vacation time. Unluckily, we don't have any short term disability benefits. Just long term with a 30 day waiting period. I've saved up the vacation and sick leave so that I can take 4 weeks off if I need to. I heal kind of slowly. If I can get away with only 2 weeks, I will and then arrange to work at home for a couple of weeks. They will go for that since I've been there 10 years, have (had??) a really good work ethic and work in computer software design and testing. All of our conference calls are through ATT toll free because we have folks in India, NY, GA, FLa, MI, NC, SC working on the account right now. I wish everyone could have those kind of benefits. This surgery is tough enough and changing our eating habits, to have to rush right back to work. Take it easy and let us know how you are doing back at work.
