my boss wanted 30 days notice because i drive a bus and she schedules some riders thirty days out....well i got a tentative date today which is april 17, and the date is either may 7 or may 14, yay finally....right?? well when i told her she said well how are you going to take your recovery time youre only going to be out 2 to 3 days right?? I said UM..............NO im having the bypass and it will be a 2 to 3 week recovery time...she said oh well we may not be able to do that!!! Im sorry but i didnt think my employer could tell me i could not have a life saving surgery...no i am not finding out about it in the emergency room but wait it is still LIFE SAVING, so now i have this worry to worry about?? anyone ever reads these posts please if you know an attorney please ask them what the legal aspects are of this situation.

Im really starting to get depressed, i have a sister that is SCREAMING at me that im being foolish and stupid and a boss that is telling me that I dont know if i will be able to have the surgery that will at the very least extend my life if not save it.  because it will inconvenience my employer???? has to be a law somewhere against that right??

Oh by the way the PCP i was worried about didnt quite completely fill out the letter but he did check off the most important part of it, i dont know im finding it very difficult to be excited about all this right now, Im most definately a worrier and I feel pretty alone right now, i will try and keep this board nobody is reading updated and hopefully i can lift my spirits a little bit before i post again.

All is good i hope, I met with the revered Dr. Krause....very nice gentlemen and he calmed all of my fears about the bypass surgery, I was hearing a lot of myths and horror stories apparantly, anyway now i have one more nerve wracking step to take....I have to go back to the PCP (primary care physician) that had the hissy fit and dropped me to get a letter signed for the insurance, and i can set my surgery date. Im very excited about this being able to finally happen, but im also in a severe set of nerves afraid the PCP will try and throw a monkey wrench in the whole deal by not signing the letter. Everyone around me is being very supportive and telling me im getting worked up over nothing but after all these set backs...............god i would think it is totally normal to be worried about such things.

I am also beginning to think i am the ONLY person on this site LOL i havent heard a peep of support or anything else on this board am i not doing something right here??

My sister keeps telling me in no uncertain terms that all these set backs mean i shouldnt be even considering  this surgery it is not meant to be.........now in the same breath she says no you cannot borrow my recliner because you will break it down and i will need it eventually..hmmm wonder how she would like to go through life breaking down furniture?? or losing limbs because of diabetes????

well hope someone is reading this besides me if not i guess its a good place to vent. and kind of talk out my fears with myself.
