ibelieve 0 Posted April 14, 2009 I am planning on a full 7 days off (Wed-Tues) and the option for the Wed-Fri following if necessary. A lot of people here and in groups have mentioned going back to work the next day!!! Hopefully you will recover quickly if you are expected to get right back to work... Take extra care of yourself if you do!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

missbinda 0 Posted April 14, 2009 Here's a shout-out for my fellow May-bes! After much waiting, I'm going into surgery on May 18th, in Australia. Since I'm a teacher and the 18th is a Monday I plan to have the whole week off work. (My boss has been very accommodating, although he thinks I'm having a hernia operation.) Best of luck to you all, I look forward to hearing about your journey! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tulsarealtorgb 0 Posted April 14, 2009 Hi All, I have been moved to May for my band. The date hasn't been set until blood test results return. I do have approval from insurance though so all is well. I'm excited about this! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

skinnybyrd 0 Posted April 18, 2009 Hello- I am new and my surgery is scheduled for May 4th! I would love to join the May Banditos club but can't seem to figure out where to find it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hkitty 0 Posted April 18, 2009 Yea for May! I'm on the 8th, it's quickly approaching. I quit my job in December because it was so terrible. I didn't think I'd still be out of work, but maybe it's a little bit of divine intervention so I don't have to worry about rushing back to work before I'm ready or what I'd tell my boss. At least that's the way I'm choosing to look at it! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
