I posted this stuff at the Chronic Pain forum but I have some separate issues that need to be talked about only here.
There is a possibility that a job at my pain doc's office could open up. The front office person was fired and the office manager's daughter is there for the summer. I have been going to this doc for almost 2 years and it is a small office and they know me well. Part jokingly they said I could do this job and it would be nice to have me there. That made me feel really good.
I didn't say I would like the job or pushed for anymore details because I wanted to talk to Todd first. So there is no understanding and all I know is there is a need for a front office person at the office.
I went home very excited and couldn't wait to talk to Todd about it. When I did tell him via IM and phone (he was at work) he was very negative about it. He was worried about my insurance(Medicare) and about our finances(I have long-term disability and SSDI). I felt he was really jerky about it. This was the first time I have talked seriously about going back to work after almost 5 years and all he can say is that you will loose this and that. I felt stupid and like a chastened child. Like I didn't know what I was talking about. That I didn't know the consequences of going back.
I don't know what to do. Should I persue the job after I find out all the info or leave it alone? Then, what should I do about Todd? Why did he make me feel that way? It was so mean.
