AS SOME OF YOU MAY REMEMBER FROM MY LAST POST, MY EMPLOYER PRETTY MUCH MADE ME GO PART-TIME. NOW THEY HAVE DECIDED TO MOVE ME TO THE DRIVE-THRU AT OUR CREDIT UNION. THE DRIVE-THRU IS MUCH MORE STRESSFUL AND HECTIC. I HAVE WORKED AT THIS CREDIT UNION FOR OVER 6 YEARS AND HAVE ALWAYS BEEN A GOOD EMPLOYEE. THEY TREATED ME WELL UNTIL ALL MY LEAVE & FMLA & SHORT-TERM DISABILITY RAN OUT. I REALLY DON'T WON'T TO FILE DISABILITY. I'M CURRENTLY TAKING WKLY HERCEPTIN TREATMENTS FOR 1 YEAR. I FEEL PRETTY GOOD AND I WANT TO WORK. CAN YOU WORK PART-TIME AND QUALIFY FOR SOME KIND OF DISABILITY. I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO. I'M NOT SURE I CAN HANDLE WORKING THE DRIVE-THRU AS WELL AS I DID INSIDE THE CREDIT UNION. ANY ADVICE WOULD BE WELCOMED.
