I greet the end of the weekend with a special kind of sadness. I have one more week off and then I go back to work on Feb 12 - not because I am recovered enough, but because for the time I have been out, my pay has been docked $9600. That is just lost income. There are hospital bills also. So I will go back to work before my body is ready.

Boy do I empathize with you. At the age of 30 I had major surgery. At that time there was no paid leave for it through my insurance. Was supposed to be 6 week recovery, but I had to go back at 4 because I was supporting my 2 kids alone and couldn’t afford to not go back. My small reserve barely kept us going that 4 weeks. I’m sorry you’re faced with having to go back before full recovery. It’s really hard when your body needs the rest and healing. Do best to rest this week.💜
