Dear Debbie,
Are you eligible for FMLA? Certain emplolyes can get 12 weeks unpaid medical leave.

Or maybe short term disability from your job? Check with HR.

Yes. It is exactly like journaling. That's why some of us are here.

It's not really like that. You win if you do the right thing for yourself.
Acutally I don't see this as winning or loosing. We constantly try. . . .lots of trying . . . and sometimes the trying helps us with what we want.

Is your husband being supportive?

Some days my goal is to survive. I'm meeting my goal.
Somedays I surpass it and survive gracefully.
