I was told by my HR that with FMLA a job is secured for me but not necessarily my titled position. I'm Area Supervisor. My understanding is they could potentially hire a new Supervisor if it gets to that point and I'd come back to some other (in this case) lower position in title and pay. I'm not interested in that. I've worked for this company for 17 years. I can't go backwards. Additionally I was told that if I'm on FMLA I have to pay for my insurance. I can't afford that. But I have a call into my doctor and my boss is going to talk to our GM today and see how, if at all, they can help me.
I don't know how my sleep is. I'm sleeping a lot, no less than 8 hours a night but more like 10 or 11 hours a night plus a nap most days. I know of an app that... measures isn't the word but I can't think of the right one your quality of sleep. You put your phone next to you on the mattress and it indicates when you're in REM, deep sleep, etc. It's designed to put you on a better path towards proper sleep by helping you learn your patterns and when you should start getting ready for sleep, when you start waking up, things like that. I'll re download that and start monitoring myself.
Thanks for the responses everyone!

What Happened: 3/6/14 I was leaning in to pick my phone off the floor of my car and hit my head on the door frame. No immediate problems but I woke up the following day with blurred vision, nausea, fogginess and memory issues. Headaches came the next day along with speech problems. CT scan was clear. Took a few weeks off work. Went back for half days for two weeks.
Then: 4/14/14 While still recovering from the first concussion I hit my head on the edge of my desk. Immediate headache, nausea and blurred vision. Doctor referred me to a neurologist who prescribed physical therapy for my neck, as I get incredibly stiff/sore necks daily which helps to bring on the headaches. Doctor also referred me to a counselor, who is helping me to cope with the anxiety and panic that has come up in my post concussion world. I deal with severe sensory problems and the frequent bout of aphasia.
And Then : 10/6/14 I was cleaning something (ok cat puke) up from underneath my new glass table when I stood up too fast right into it and voila, trauma #3. I was out of work for a month and a half this time. Noise problems, aphasia, etc.
