We recently decided my husband should quit his job until our girls (7,2, and 3 months) are bigger. I make 3.5 times as much as he did and it was just dumb to keep him working to pay someone else to raise our kids.
Anyway the pressure is on. I want my surgery so badly. But I just came off maternity leave and we are behind as it is. I can probably swing 2 weeks off but absolutely nothing more than that. I'm a nurse but work nights so it's not terribly physically demanding. If I were to have complications and need to take longer off work, my family is screwed. How do I decide what to do? Everything I do is for them, this is the only thing I want for me.
