Yeah...the military is giving me 14 days (initially it was 7 but I asked for 7 more). And then I have to fly back to Cuba from California. I am bringing my kids with me to help take care of me during my first week back. I could take personal leave back in the US but I want to keep what I have to come home during the winter holidays. Thankfully I work at a hospital and my bosses are understanding. My biggest fear is not knowing if I will be able to dress myself three weeks post surgery!
