And now it is July 2013

So I have beaten the odds a bunch of times. I am still working at the pharmacy where I started in 2011. I might not be for much longer. My attendance points are adding up. I really try not to miss work, but sometimes I am not able to help it. Aside from the attendance points, I do really well at my job. I have excellent quality scores. I talked to my boss about the fact that I am almost to the point of losing my job due to absences. She told me I could take family medical leave. She doesn't want to lose me at work either. So I called about that. I am temporarily approved, but I have to get my doctor to complete a form. No problem...you would think. Actually it could be a problem. I haven't gone to my new doctor here except for a couple of times. I am now out of my meds and was going to seek an appointment for that anyway. I was just so discouraged and so tired of doctors' visits that I haven't gone. I still have four kids at home to raise. I have to live eight more years until my youngest reaches adulthood. Then all bets are off.  If I can't get my doctor, who knows very little about me, to approve FMLA then I am in serious trouble. I just spent the last two days in pain and nausea. So that's it. I have reached the limit on my attendance points. I am feeling better now, but not completely. Bleh. I don't know what I am going to do if I lose this job. I just wish I could be better. I am tired of being sick.
