I picked up my FMLA papers at wrk today. For reason it made me nervous. It jump started my anxiety. It is made it more real to me that I'm really going to be out of work for 6 weeks because my job does not have light duty. I don't know why I'm freaking out, I guess the thought of me letting HR office know made it more real to me more official. Maybe its because ive never taken a leave from any job so its a new experience for me LOL Did this happen to you?

The same thing happened to me. It felt like another level of commitment o the surgery....

Yes. That's how I feel

I got my surgery date today and that made it very real to me. It seems like Ive been waiting for this date since February, and I'm kinda freaking out that I'm scheduled. I'm nervous, happy, scared, excited all at the same time!

Congrays on the surgery date!!! I think we're all feeling the same big mixture of emotions. Whats your date?

My date is September 3rd. The day after labor date. I was hoping to have a date in August, but they were booked. September will be okay though. My kids will be in school so I will be able to recover easier. The only thing that stinks about that date, is that it is the first day of school for my kids and my little guy is going off to kindergarten that day. So, I'm dealing with that emotion today too. He's my baby and my last one at that, so feeling crappy about not being there.
