Hi lal ~ I was off that long because the pain was HORRENDOUS! If I got up, I couldn't stand the pain. If I sat, I couldn't stand the pain. All I could do was LAY DOWN. And I doubted that my employer would like that. LOL Since I was an Optician, I was on my feet all day, and there was NO way I could work and be on my feet! I could barely get to the bathroom let alone be on my feet all day. LOL

So that's why I was off work so long.
