Re: Hospital AGAIN! But you'll never guess why!
Okay,
So first, thanks for all your support! You guys are my rocks! And thanks for agreeing with me that I'm being unfairly and quite frankly hatefully, by my HR dept. That helps make it hurt a little less,
And thanks to all of you who have sent links to legal resources . I know it will likely cost me a fortune to fight all of this...just what my family doesn't need just now, with the 90 unpaid days hanging over me like a blade. But if I don't fight it, my family won't be taken care of when someday - a long, long, time from now - I'm not around to do it. I just hope I can find the BEST, most informed, and RUTHLESS cancer advocate/employment attorney in the Delaware Valley. I don't just want to win this for me and my family, I want to make a big enough splash that no one else around here ever has to spend a day crying over this crap...when they need all their energy to beat cancer...and in my case the ailment du jour! I wasted hours stressing about this yesterday. Literally, hours. When I should have been focused on the first surgery and recovering from that so I can have the next one in a week or so.
The HR director will not respond to my emails except to give me her cell number and ask me to "call her". We are NOT friends. The only time she has ever insisted we talk, rather than communicate in writing is when she's up to something and doesn't want a paper trail. Again, I say...what a %&*&$!!
Sorry, friends I'm rambling again.
Keep praying for healing and calm, please. (and a resolution that allows my children to eat more elaborate meals that macaroni and hotdogs till they reach adulthood and can pay their own way!)
Love to all of you!
Denise
