So sorry Denise. I don't know who you work for or what your relationship is with your boss, but I arrange everything directly with my boss. If it's something that is going to be obvious, like weeks off to recover from surgery, we involve HR. Otherwise, I work a few hours extra some days to make up for my infusion times. He also allows me to do some work from home, but I'm fortunate that is the nature of my job. Since she's Satan's spawn, perhaps your supervisor is also aware of that. And like some of the other ladies have posted, some companies allow other employees to "donate" some of their sick time or vacation time to help another employee that has a chronic illness and is going in the red.

Sorry to hear of your pain. Pain is truly exhausting so hope you can get some rest. Prayers and good thoughts being sent from Southern CA.
