Roxie, what are you going to do about your IVG infusions?
 How long of a drive do you have?I do wish you the best and hope your co-workers can give you help when needed. Take care.

Good Evening All!
HI Diana! I am going to start off by taking each Friday off for my infusion. Maybe after a while I can just take half a day.....but figure right now I think it'll help me to work just 4 days a week. I drive 25 miles each way to work. It's always dark when I leave for work and it's all freeway driving......with all those crazy Houston drivers.  I'm not looking forward to be back on the freeway for 45 min to an hr or longer each way each day!

Hi Roxie, that's pretty tough, is there any chance of applying/getting a position closer to home ?

Roxie, why don't you also hire someone to clean your house? That was a huge help to me when I was working.

HI Dakota and Brian!
I wish I could work closer to the house but I'd make MUCH less money, that's why I've stayed where I'm at. I have 14 yrs in there so that helps (usually) when I need to take off or whatever. I wish I could afford to hire someone to clean my house. Right now coming off 6 months of FMLA--and getting no paycheck during that time, funds are very low. Maybe later in the year I can think about that.....I can definently see the advantage! Have a great humpday!!
