Things are lookin' good!

All of my blood tests are showing good signs of being cured!! I told my specialist I feel more fatigued and more sick than I did in the beginning. He explained that while that isn't the normal response it is in no way unheard of and to just keep riding it out. I will take my last shot on Jan 13th and my last pills on Jan 20th!! I'll see him on Jan 23rd and then not again for six months when we get the final word if I'm in the clear! He told me the way things are going right now I should expect good results and that I've handled all of this with a great amount of grace. That was one of the nicest things I've heard. I don't always feel like I have but from a doctor who sees patients for this all the time, I tend to believe him.

Work and insurance has been a pain in my ass. First they told me they would do my best to keep MY job for me. Then later on I get told that if they can't keep MY job I will at least have A job when I return. Now the final word is that they have not held my job and that I will have 90 days to reapply within the company upon returning from medical leave. I'm slightly more than pissed. Not only is my Short Term Disability still under review but after eight years with a company you would think they would have tried harder for me. I've given them the majority of my adult life and always done right by them and this is how I get repaid?! Guess that's what happens when you work for a large corporation. I still would have thought my dedication to them would have meant something, apparently I was wrong.

Thankfully I realize the stress this could cause is not worth threatening my health so while I'm still fighting them I'm not letting it consume me. I'm off of work to help eliminate stress and all of this only adds to it. I will let the chips fall where they may and trust that no matter what I will be taken care of!
