Need To Vent.................

Recently, I suffered a slight setback in my MS, probably brought on by the flu, more than likely the H1N1 flu as it hard and almost 4 weeks later, I'm still recovering. This literally has knocked me off balance even more than usual and prompted a visit with my Neurologist and subsequently another MRI needed to be scheduled, part of way it is, I'm afraid. Under law, I'm allowed to take FMLA, of which I did. The day I called into work, I said I would be taking FMLA, I then called Employee Health and told them about it and received via email, the paperwork to be filled out. That very same week, I saw my Neurologist and by the following weekend, scheduled to work, I was back with paperwork in hand and also spoke to my Supervisor. I needed to take this FMLA without pay as I have vacation coming up and need my PPL for that. Of course, payroll missed the boat and I spoke with them this past Monday and it has been sorted, emailed my boss and there doesn't seem to be a big problem. Now this has required many a phone call, running from appointment to appointment all at a time when Steve and I are trying to prepare for a second interview with Immigration. At the cost of $3,000 so far for the attorney hired. And a cash out of pocket for another Immigration health check by the Immigration appointed Doctor at the last minute as his previous one from 7yrs ago that they refused to accept from us had expired.We feel relatively prepared and had to impose on 7 friends and family to write a notarized affidavits and get it to us within a week's time. Not to mention, copies of everything our 7yr marriage has entailed, more than one can imagine. So you can imagine the stress this household has been under the past two weeks. Today, I receive a "snotty gram" in the mail from Employee Health that I have "disrupted the organization" with my health issue. And that in the future, I should do this and do that, the "this and that" of which I did. I am pissed! I had a book of diseases in which to choose from, and I chose MS, because I thought that could get me off of work more often, what do you think? Good choice? I really enjoy being off balance, fatigued, over heated and oh how much fun it is to get a chemo shot every week into the muscle, which gives me flu like symptoms for 24 hours and a raging headache. YES, I chose MS as my disease, just to disrupt the organization I work for. Really, I did. Fuck !
