sleevers in Chicago southland

Hello to all,

I'm looking for sleevers in Chicago southland. Would like to get a small support group together. I had my surgery in the north suburbs. The support groups that they have are all on Saturdays. I work alot of saturdays. So it makes it difficult to make it to many meetings. I'm hoping to find some sleevers that live near me. This will make it easier to make regular meetings.

It may also be fun to find others to workout with. If you are in the area and would like to form a support group, please let me know. Thanks Jane

I am going back to work on October 19. I took 4 weeks off total. But keep in mind I had vacation time that I needed to use up. Also I'm a firefighter/paramedic so my job is very physically demanding. I felt it would be dangerous to myself' date=' my crew and my patients if I went back early.

Who is your Dr?

Dr Joyce . I just requested an extension of myLOA due to continued pain issues. I'm a labor & delivery nurse and there is no way I could work right now. I originally took 4 weeks, I've asked for 2 more weeks.
