We have had to deal with many things this year. Those who know me, know some of them. Our latest is Bob's health. He has been diagnosed with 2 types of cancer. One type is non-aggressive and the Dr isn't worried about it, but the other kind is very aggressive and the Dr said he would have taken it out before now. We are going through all the testing and have a meeting with the Dr on March 24 for the results and prognosis.
I finally know why I am with this man-it's because without me being in his life he would have had no one. No family, no one to care about him, no one to love him, no one with friends who are strong prayer warriors. And, these things are very important, whether he knows it or not. How are we doing? We are dealing-one day at a time; one test at a time.
I went to my manager and started to tell her about the situation. She stopped me and said, "I am getting you the forms for the FMLA program. For those of you who are like I was, I didn't know what she was speak about, so she went on to explain it is a Family Medical Leave Application. It enables you to take off and not hinder your job or give any reason. I just call in and say, "I'm calling in FMLA." and, the rest is taken care of.
I took the papers to the Dr's office and they told me it usually takes 2 weeks to get them processed. I called and talked with the nurse who works on these. I explained that my husband had never been sick and was very upset by all of this new "sick" thing going on with him. God gave her compassion and she had them ready for me in 2 working days.
I took them to the company Health Dept and they told me it would take at least 48 hours to process the paperwork and they would have lots of questions. My manager called me 2 hrs later and said it had been approved-no questions asked. Now if that is not a God thing, I don't know what is.
I don't pretend to know WHY God does things. I don't even try to guess any more. Right now, it's enough for me to know, He is still in control.
