So I finally did it... I went on a personal leave from work.

 

I have been in treatment for 5 1/2 months, and have been dealing with my crazy boss. But these past few days she just got the best of me.  I couldn't handle the negativity and stress I was getting from her. I have enough going on with this treatment, and my personal family issues, to deal with a psycho boss at work. So today I sent an email saying that I am taking a personal leave due to stress. I said that the job was overwhelming me and stressing me out so much that it was flaring my medical problem. I sent it, and then I left. I am very proud of myself for doing it. Now I am home, happy, doing positive things, and am finally going to get some much needed rest. =)

I think if you can manage without having to work, financially I mean then it is a great thing to do...well done for having the courage to do so.
I am sure that it will really help you with your recovery both physically and emotionally.

calieve, good for you! i'm on a leave myself. i work with special ed kids and being on my feet was taking a toll on my bladder. my colleagues would tell me to leave because they saw me suffering, but stubborn me thought i can stick it through. now, i have more time to sit and relax and do things at my own time. this has helped me to cope with my bladder discomfort and pain. someone told me, i can't help others if i can't help myself first....which makes total sense. so, i'm home helping myself so i can help others! :o)
