Hey Jen,

Well, what I'm doing right now is kinda like that, I'm approved to take sporadic sick days, so I might be in one day and then need some off and things like that, as long as it's not more than 5 days in a row it's all good.

It was my boss's suggestion to look into taking a longer leave, because I miss just about as much work as I attend, and she thought it might help me get better sooner. I think it may also have to do with the fact that I work in a call center, so there's very specific call forecasting to be done, and they count on you being there to take calls, and they never know with me. If I was on an actual leave then they wouldn't be counting on me...I don't know.

With the leave, it can be for as little as one week and as much as one year...I'm going to talk it over with my doc and see what he says as well. If I could get someone to actually look at my gallbladder I may need surgery, and my doc thinks I should have another laparoscopy for my endometriosis, so I think that's when I'd want to take the leave, to recover from the surgeries.

Thanks for your info! I'm glad that the leave worked well for you!
Kelly
