Hi everyone!
My name is Rene' and I've been reading the posts for weeks. Briefly...I was diagnosed with HCM when I was 27...had a myectomy when I was 28 and am now 42 years old. Some days I feel fine and other days I feel horrible...especially when it's hot and humid, or extra busy at work. I've been the Activity Director at the same nursing home for 15 years. I went to my Cardiologist Friday and he filled out FMLA papers for me. Basically, states the "Rene' is unable to perform the functions of her job when functionally symptomatic"...blah, blah, blah...". I only need it intermittently, so if I need to take off a day, or need to leave a few hour early, it won't count against our attendance policy. Now, I'm worried about turning it in and my employer thinking that I'm unable to do my job. I have 3 very efficient and competent activity assistants, so I don't worry about things when I'm off. Not sure exactly what to say to my Administrator now or if I should turn it in at all. Any advice?
Thanks!
Rene'
