Ok, in Germany you can get approved for rehab after a serious illness like cancer (you can get it for other things too). I think I mentioned before that I applied for it, on a outpatient basis, starting in January. The social worker that helped me file for it, said that the standard is to wait 3 to 4 weeks after the end of treatment, and with the holidays coming up it would make the most sence to start in the new year.....
Well, I did get approved. Well at least that is what the letter from the Clinic says. The letter also tells me to show up on Wednesday 9 AM. We're talking about 4 days from today, one day after radiation ends, Wednesday....AGGGHHHH! It is very stressful for me, I must say!
You see, some may think "well, you have been off for 9 months now, isn't it time to return to work" Sure! Yes! But let's be realistic, I have NOT been on vacation, I did not have a cold...really, those 4 weeks that I was planning on having before rehab would have been the first chance to take a breather for me since....MARCH!!!
So, I am asking you to say a prayer, squeeze your thumbs, cross your fingers, send me energy...whatever it is you think works, for me to have the patience, strength, endurance....to take it up with the federal people next week, explaining why I cannot do this without a break!!!
Thanks!
