Roxie,

it's off to work we go - I'm really sorry that your Dr and the school district couldn't see the light to help you out. I'm sure this is frustrating as all get-out but do take extra care of yourself and don't jeopordize your health further to satisfy the job demands. Are there any colleagues who could give you a bit of respite in a pinch? As for the long drive and PN I commute ~2 1/2h on a good day so I can relate somewhat to your drive.

I wish you the very best of luck and hope things will work out for you.
