DedicatedLady,
First, I'm not your enemy so I don't know why you jumped off on me. Second, her struggle may not be your struggle and I'm sorry you have a job that doesn't pay medical leave or short term disability. Third, what I told her was for her own benefit because if she pops a staple she'll miss more than 2 weeks out of work, and so will you. Take it easy and allow yourself time to heal.
