Chit..Im so sorry to hear that Lara. I dont know if there is ever a good time for a layoff but is it even legal for them to do that with your pending FMLA? I dont know much about the Americans with Disabilities Act but that to me would sound like something that you could fight. I wish I had some good advice for you.

Oh Lara, I just now got on the thread, and can't believe that. So glad you told the girls here, as they had some good advice. Just don't give up, you have rights, and this is just the time to use them. BUT very hard, with all going on with your upcoming surgery. I will be praying for you, ok?
Just now we looked out our window and the entire Eiffel Tower is covered in twinkling lights....it is 11pm so very dark out. I am so glad I read this earlier, as it is just for 5 min on the hour, just till a certain time. It is AWESOME!!! We did go there today, and walked right up to it, plus took a boat ride on the Seine River, which is right in front of the Eiffel Tower....which is between the river and a busy street! Could not believe how close to the busy road it is....you usually see pictures of it from the other side, with the wide, mosaic paved area in front of it.
ANYWAY, sad news, and wish I was at home. My DD had surgery on her tongue on Friday (we left on Thurs),and it IS cancer...not even sure they got it all (it was along the side). Then they had to keep her overnight because of unexpected swelling. It really breaks my heart that I am not there with her. Just kills me. Apparently they can't do more surgery, and she will have to see the rads dr, and still waiting on more biopsy results. I don't know who has been keeping the kids (think its her friend), but my neighbor has been feeding our dogs. My other DD drives in from Texas tomorrow (12hrs) to help her sister out, and will stay at our house and feed the dogs too. We knew about the surgery a wk before, but I didn't think it really would be that bad, and end up being cancerous. SO please send out prayers if you have time, I really, really, appreciate all your prayers. We don't get home till late next Thurs, so this is breaking me up.
Hugs to all, Kat

Hi All,
Hope you are getting some good results, Lara...hard to fight when you are in pain and going to surgery soon, and its NOT FAIR at all, but am glad you are willing to fight for your rights.
Yes, Cami, her tongue has been very painful....started in Dec after a filling, got a sore, then it got worse, then the pain was so bad it was radiating down her jaw and she could hardly talk. So now we still don't know her prognosis, not sure if she is waiting to see the rads dr till after I get home? They don't even have all the biopsy results. She wrote me the sweetest note. AND today was the day we had free for shopping, and I wanted to get her something special from Paris, BUT the malls and shoppes are closed on Sunday. WTH??? Maybe they are open by the major attractions, but that is mostly tourist crap. Hoping to find a small shoppe that might be open, or else hoping they have some nice stuff at the airport. THe mall with food court also closed at 8pm last night (Saturday), so they were all packing up way before that. FUNNY....since they eat so late here, and it is not dark until waaay after 9pm. Regular restaurants were open though, so we were ok. I was surprised our stores have such longer hours, and are open Sundays.
Well, just pooped (said on poipose) in to say hi....DH is napping (duh) and thats when I have the most time to catchup. On to Prague tamarra....
Hugsssssssssssssssssssssss,
Katwinka

Good morning, Loungettes!
My apologies for being MIA. It's a bit of a long story, and I kinda need to vent, so skip over this part if you want, I'll understand! I have been feeling like crap with the springtime allergies kicking up my asthma, or so I thought. I was doing all the stuff I could to control the asthma and feeling worse all the time, so I finally let myself get talked into going to walk in care. Not allergies, although it probably started out that way. Asthma, with probably pneumonia. So here I am on steroids and antibiotics and all that lovely fun stuff and working my but off with a huge case load getting bigger by the day. All I could do last week was try to sleep and try to keep moving during the day. My case load, should be 15. I had 19 as of a week ago, 22 by the middle of last week with 2 families in crisis and new patients coming on actively dying. All while I felt like I wanted to die. And I'm not smart enough to take a day or two off, 'cause I was already so far behind that I wasn't seeing daylight. So I ended up having a total meltdown in the office Friday morning, and working half a day yesterday to get everything done. I've still got paperwork piled up, but it's stuff I can handle in a half an hour of quiet time that I'll get when I go in tomorrow am. 4 patients have been transferred to another nurse. 4 new patients came on during the week, and a couple more are coming on this weekend, I think, and at least 2 more next week. My house is a disaster, I haven't mowed the lawn once and it's almost waist high, no garden work done, Sadie's getting almost no attention, and I'm feeling like a total failure all the way around. And I got a letter from the IRS notifying me that I owe them $3000+ for missing a document a couple years ago. And Firefox has been acting weird and being very slow so I've got to switch to internet explorer (I'm on that now) and try to get all my bookmarks moved and it pisses me off that it's been so hard to get onto BCO and talk to my breasties. So, this is my virtual screaming out loud. My life is NOT in balance right now and I am so NOT happy about it. On the other hand, I am feeling better as far as breathing and not coughing so hard I have to wear depends (not fun when it's 80 degrees with 90% humidity). I am going to do NOTHING having to do with work today. Not even answer the phone if it rings. I am going to do 2 loads of laundry, pick up and sweep the floors, run the dishwasher and see if the mower wills start today. And take a nap if I feel like it. And turn on the AC in the bedroom for tonight. And get caught up on the goings on in the HTL!!!
BBBBernie--aha, now I have a name for my funk these last couple of weeks, a feeling sorry for myself episode! Can I steal your label? Glad you're feeling better. I never thought about using a money belt. I do only carry the cash I plan to use on a given day when I'm vacationing. I'm a fan of pre-paid Visa or Mastercards for traveling, too. Acutally I use them to help with budgeting, too. Oh. Lordy, I wonder what that poor person got for breakfast!
Juliet--working at the wellness center sounds like a nice change up from floor work!
Wahine--how do you keep yourself, your travels and your parents' appointments all straight??? You are amazing! And you sound like you're all up to date on the scams and problems to watch out for.
ORLA--I hear you about annoying! Hope your feeling better by now. TORNADOES??? I'd be terrified! Please stay safe!
COFFEE--yes, I have been living on coffee for the last week! Lost 4 pounds! Oh,wait, no, that was from coughing out one of my lungs. . . .
Mema--please stay away from rads if you possibly can. My asthma/breathing problems over the last couple of years are most likely from rad damage to my left lung, but I've had so much rads that they will only do chest x-rays if it's absolutely necessary and then they have to brow beat me into it so I don't have medical proof. You don't need all this secondary damage on top of the beast itself, trust me.
Cammy--what's up with your finger??? Oh, I see, one of those little owies that hurt way too much. Milk it for all it's worth, honey!
Becs--not good when the assignment is kicking your butt, what can I do to help? Your onc is not telling tales, when a cancer cell breaks off from a tumor and travels to another part of the body, usually fairly near by and lands and grows it's called seeding. That's how medicine explains the mets that don't go through the blood or lymphatic systems.
DorKable--going back to work?? Woohoo!
ORLA--your whole team got laid off? Out of the blue? $hit! So not right!!!!!! No wonder you lost it, who wouldn't???? Do you have all the info yet--the why and how and what next? Getting laid off qualifies you for unemployment doesn't it? Contact the social worker at your cancer center and tell them about this, there are lots of ways to get medical care covered under bad situations if you know where to look, and the social workers do. Also contact the American Cancer Society, they have some resources. The ADA does get involved in situations like this, too. OMG I sish I was close enough to see you and give you a hug and a shoulder.
Mema--I have been learning a lot about medical marijuana lately, the local dispensary actually sells granola with mj in it, as well as tinctures and other preparations. I didn't realize how complex it got!
ORLA--all everyone NOW. Get everyone involved NOW. That's the best way to make sure your rights are protected. And get everything from HR IN WRITING!!!!!!!!!
Wahine--Oh,dear, your poor DD, and so hard for you to be so far away. I am praying for all of you.
