This is about me and my problem-I have written about the information my employer wanted about my health. I am a government employee so I sent it straight to FOH-Federal Occupational Health. Well, they sent a memo back that stated that my leave met FMLA guidelines and that my leave usage was not likely to decrease. This give my division chief the out to fire me. (though I am looking into medical retirement). I found this out late Friday afternoon. Needless to say, this weekend was a little restless. DH is worried. We can handle paying for everything except grocercies and meds on his salary alone. I mentioned telling DD that we HAVE to have the rent monies from the house to survive. He really doesn't want to do that since they need it to survive. HUH? They spend on cigs & beer, then use rent for grocery money and other bills. Yes, I know that we have been spending on going out-but we have had the funds to do so without spending anyone else's money. I think that this is going to be hard for him to get around I am going to be considered a "b**tch" for my stand.

However, last night, we hit on an idea-don't know why I didn't think of it before-keeping a couple of changes of clothes here-just in case of a problem when I have an attack. This will allow me to come to work when I am having a problem. I wrote a memo to my boss explaining this plan. Hopefully this will help. I also explained that I have found a trigger of my migraines-wine. Even cooking with it seems to trigger the migraine. I knew that drinking it could, but didn't realize the cooking with it possibly could too. Food diary found it.

If bosses take hard stand, then I don't have any option. I will ask church for help with food and meds, and look for job-but hard to get employed with anyone when fired from IRS. Only problem is that I owe them from leave advanced. Yeesh, wish I had thought of taking changes of clothes in way before now!
