Good Grief

I went to work today thinking the my FMLA paperwork was waiting for me. I even went in early so I could print out my request for time off. I looked at the fax when I got there and the doctor had faxed it back blank! Really? They said I needed to get Dad's primary care physician to fill it out. Well I don't have that info. Plus I'm taking to time off because he has cancer....so why can't the oncologist fill this out? Anyway, I got the PCP fax number and faxed it to them hoping that I would get it back today...LOL yeah right. A few hours later I talked to dad and he said he doesn't see that doctor anymore. So, tomorrow I have to start all over again. This time I'll start with the doctor that's at the physical rehab clinic. Maybe he can do it? All I need is a couple pieces of paper filled out with my dad's info and signed by a doctor. How hard can that be?

I was talking to my co-workers today about this trip I'm about to take. Most people don't think I'll come back. HUMMM....I think now that everyone is so convinced I won't return I have to come back to prove them all wrong. I was thinking about this all the way home tonight. It made my stomach hurt. There are some people I hardly see now so I guess I wouldn't miss them too much. Then there are the people I feel I can't do without. The thought of leaving and maybe never seeing them again....well it's just too much right now. Well I can always see if Dad will hook me up with Raul. LMAO I think that would take my mind off missing you all.

In the know

Most of you know that my Dad has cancer. Today he had some tests done and they found another mass. Not sure right now what's going to happen. I'll update that later when I know more.

I've been trying to get myself ready to go stay with Dad for a few weeks. Today I got a fax from his doctor. It was my FMLA paperwork. FINALLY!!! I'll turn it in tomorrow and when it's approved I'll be heading to Vegas. Me and Dot are driving out there for at least 6 weeks.

I'll keep updating this on my way there. I know this trip will be hard and emotional but I think it will also be interesting. The things that I'll see and encounter on the way there will probably make for some good blogging. I always seem to find the odd stuff in life.
