Can you take a sabbatical? Please take care of yourself and try to put yourself first. Nothing is forever, and if you take a sabbatical you can go back to teaching when things calm down. The country needs teachers. I know a university prof who had mastectomy and reconstruction (tram flap) during the summer and went back to teaching in the fall. She said if she had to do it over, she would have taken a sabbatical for fall semester to help her fully recover. She had more pain than anticipated. If you can, give yourself the luxury of a sabbatical.
