you're right Lynnette, don't let them stress you out over this. I can't believe they have no more concern for you and your BRAIN SURGERY for cryin out loud! It's not like this is a stumped toe or just because you don't want to work. Anyone who knows you would for sure know better than that. Take it easy and let yourself heal. Sending continued prayers for your speedy and complete recovery!
