[LOPSIDED]

i Worked On A Part Time Basis For A Year. When I Had My Mastectomy, I Did Take 4 Weeks Off. I Won't Lie, I Was Exausted. I Was A Bank Teller & On Busy Days I Had A Hard Time Concentrating. I Was Able To Keep My Medical Insurance & Work Part-time Because I Qualified For Short Term Disability. After A Year, I Resigned & Paid The High Price Cobra Insurance. It Was Hard Working & I Had A Lot Of Family Stress (my Father Was In Hospice Care). Shortly After I Resigned I Was Diagnosed With Ovarian Tumors-------now I Know Why Working Became Impossible. I Applaud The Amazing Women Who Are Working. I Do Think It Has Its Benefits. I Have Been Home Almost A Year Receiving Social Security Disability. I Feel I Will Be Able To Return To Work Part-time But Not At My Old Job. They Told Me Once You Resign On Long-term Disability They Do Not Hold Your Job. I Have Felt Very Isolated The Past Year. Its The First Time I Didn't Have A Job Since I Was 18. I Needed The Rest And Feel Everything Happened The Way It Was Suppose Too, Good Luck In Whatever You Decide For Yourself.
