I finally made her go and she had to switch her lunch hour with someone else and we were gone way longer than her hour lunch. She was diagnosed with active inflammatory spondyloarthritis. They put her on strong medicines and she needs to be seen every 4 weeks. Doctor gave he a note to give her employer but she is afraid to show him. Anyway I called yesterday to get her her next 4 week appointment and the only early appointment they have that she can get
is mid September. Are you kidding me. What are working people to do. Jobs are hard to come by and you don't want to take time off. |
Sorry to hear about your daughter!! That's terrible! I hope she can get the care she needs and her boss is a bit more forgiving due to the circumstances!
I feel your pain. I had to go to the doctors on Monday, well that was 1 hour late for work, then the vet on tuesday so that was leave 2 hours early. Then I call the bank yesterday (got a new atm card and lost the paper with the pin# to activate it) and I have to actually go into a branch to reset the pin but they are only open until 530 most days, which means i have to leave work a 1/2 hour early to make it there!!! GGGRRRRR they are too far to go to on lunch break too! I did find the I can get tires at BJs (which I need) until 8pm at night, that is a nice thing!
