I love everything and can't wait to dive into some new projects. I would like to thank Kim from the bottom of my heart. I do not have her screen name to thank her in a private message, but did send Lori a message to say I received it.....Once again, Kim, thank you so much, you are a great swap partner!!!!

I went into the office today and was let go. This is a great company that I worked for and they care about their employee's. My FMLA ran out in June, and they continued to work with me. Today when they told me they were letting me go they made it clear that when I get my medical issues under control they want me to come back to work there. They also gave me 2 weeks severance pay and are going to pay my Cobra insurance for 2 months. They were not obligated to do any of this for me. I go to my pain management Dr on Wednesday and hopefully I can get them to figure something out that will work and no more medication that causes adverse reactions. At least I will be able to py my October rent because of this.
