To Tell or Not to Tell?

[CanadaLoser 80]

I haven't told a soul other than my husband! It's not that I want it to be a secret forever but at this point I don't feel anyone needs to know about my health.

Down the road I am sure questions will start coming and at that point I will assess the situation and person and determine how I want to move forward at that point.

Good for you @@StephanieA ! I would tell your boss you need to have Surgery and it's personal so you really are not comfortable discussing it, but you know he/she will understand and you thank them in advance for their support

Hi, my name is Stephanie and I am new here. I totally agree with keeping this to myself and I was wondering how you got around the whole reason for surgery to be off work? I have to go on short term disability, even it if it is just for a week and I don't want to tell my boss the reason for my surgery, but I know he will ask because we are friends. Does anyone else have a situation like this? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
