Intermittent leave approved. *whew* Of course it took calling them and getting hung up on in a transfer and calling back and then getting the case worker lady who didn't sound like she really wanted to talk to me on the phone to get it done... but...... it's approved. Seems she'd put me on a shelf since two Fri's ago when the doc's office sent in my paperwork and left out the last 6 months worth of appt history. She saw other stuff came in but apparently forgot that the original rest of the paperwork was already in. ... *deep breathe* Anyways, leave approved. Though I've using vacation to cover the infusion Fri and on the 16th, FMLA will hopefully make sure the bum end is covered if HR comes back getting angry at my having used up all my time half way through the year. Nice to know it's there. Huge relief.
Found out I can take my computer in Fri so while I'm getting pumped full of the awesome + benadryl that will make me looking and/or knock me out, will keep the world posted on how it's going. I've had IV's before, but 6 1/2 hours seems like a long time to be plugged in and having good drugs run through your system. Do need to find someone willing to bring me lunch Fri. Guess I'll work on that tomorrow. Decided I'm not going to bother inviting anyone along for the adventure only cause I'm pretty sure I'll lose consciousness not long after the benadryl comes along. No point in someone waiting their day watching me sleep.
Hooray for a good news days. They said it's good till 12/22ish. Should get a thing in the mail 3 weeks prior to that for a renewal and as long as I send it in, everything should keep on covering me for another 6 months. Gotta keep an eye on the mail.
Figure next post will likely either be me all nervous goose-like tomorrow night or I'll hold out till I'm plugged in 7am Fri morning. Hope you folks have a great rest of week and weekend :-)
You'll do great! Fingers crossed for you.
