FMLA, joke approved in Second 1st

Because of feeling bad last week I decided I was going to have to put crappy book aside in order to read a book I got on Meniere’s because… health… it’s spaced hugely and really isn’t that many pages so I’m 3/4 of the way through it in 3 days.... It’s a real page turner.... Yeah like when am I going to get to a page with actual info I can USE. There has been a note or 2.... like the guy who wrote this book is an admin in an FB group I joined and he points readers there in the book.... or on the books website there is a pdf print out to help you journal what you’ve eaten. Took me some typing to remember the third thing (and then deleting) but KAVA is a relaxation tea that can help with more quality sleep and brain fog. I’ve never had it and I would give it a shot if I ever got a damn day off that I didn’t need to run all over for. .... 7 days a week 12 hr days for the next 3 weeks..... and predicted till December still.....

I am exhausted and I’m only at 4 days in a row. I managed to be able to get out 2 hours early today. This only means I have enough time to cook the dish I made and put in the fridge for lunches this week. I got word on the FMLA and am extremely upset over it. .... I’ll have to call Wednesday seriously. We have been working everyday. The only way I can get out of it is by using FMLA, fatigue is a major symptom and I have talked to the doctor once about all the over time already.... and once to her nurses both in reference to FMLA paperwork. That being said I got approved..... for 3 days a month.... 3 of 30?.... Yes..... and I can know I’m only going to be dizzy 3 days how?...... I made one mistake 2 weeks ago and I was screwed for 3 days ...... Tyler from HR was out and about on the floor and I asked him about it. We had a rather deflating conversation...... because honestly 3 days would be plenty for my weekend shift, honestly. Pushing through a bad day so that on the very worst day I can be home but most likely being home anyways because 4 day weekend....... but working 7 days .... I will end up using the whole moths days off in one week if I have a bad go of it. ..... That being said lets say I wake up and I’m feeling about 50% and I get in and get to work and drop to 20%… or 10% and I have to leave. Won’t matter if I left at 10, 3, or decided not to go in at all, it will count as 1 day of the 3 I have in a 30 day period.....

IF I have to call out more frequently I have to go through the process again.... that’s more paperwork and another 25$ to the doc just to fill it out.... incorrectly.... I’m baffled.... I don’t understand how she thinks any normal human without issues can do it .... let alone someone who get’s dizzy randomly pretty much and is just super tired all the time.... set aside the fact that I have to cook.... I have to sleep.... I’m so frustrated I want to cry right now. Maybe I should go meditate as this book might suggest. Stress and sleep deprivation are 2 major known triggers for Meniere’s ..... What if that’s not how she filled it out and they just won’t approve more than 3 days? I can’t look at the damn document so how would I know?.... Whatever.... I’m home 2 hours early trying to cook food for this week so I can wash the dishes before I go to work in the morning .... I’m going to try to get to bed at least an hour early. crosses fingers I’m so tired.
