Wow....interesting!!  I'm more like your dad, I'm crazy about Ken but
definitely
need my own time and space.  You and Robert are lucky you both seem to
thrive on
"togetherness" --  you are just two peas in a pod.  I loved India!  I
guess
she's just into more upscale accommodations ;)  I loved the food and the
filthy
Ganges....with cows and dead babies floating in it, -- it was just such
an
exciting stimulating different world.

What about that Family Medical Leave Program or whatever it's called --
When I
had that excruciating lateral epicondylitis, I cut back my hours and
used my
extended leave bank.  Wouldn't that be better than Workmans Comp?  Lots
of forms
to fill out but got my full pay.

Cindy on vacation and I am sposed to be covering for her 20 hours!!
Going
crazy.  Keep me posted on family situation and your health
Bye for now

My dad said maybe I need to consider worker's comp.
He thinks I may have to take time off from work since this job is not
making
this problem better.
Also, I got an e-mail from his wife complaining about how bad their trip
to
India was. My dad admitted they are having issues. She wrote you and
Robert
would like the spicy food and dirtiness in India! What the hell is she
implying
there? I told my dad this and he was angry how she has been writing mean
things
in e-mails lately. He said he ignores her when she goes off like that,
and I
should too. At least he is on my side on this. I don't understand how
can think
this is OK to do to me. Ever since she lost her job she's been getting
on dad's
nerves, he likes doing his own activities and she wants to do more with
him, but
he needs his space!
Stay tuned for the drama!
PS I told my mom-in-law and she is supportive

Hope u got to go home!  Glad you're doing okay, I assume u still have
neck brace
on.  I have a keyboard tray and I had a roller mouse but it got ruined
in the
BIG FLOOD last fall....it was for my lateral epicondylitis and it helped
so
much!  I miss it.  Did you get the PT order?  Can you get PT at your
hospital?
Well, feel better and keep me posted -

	I'm here, but the boss said I need a note from my MD saying I
can work
again, or else I have to go home. ;)
	And then I'm trying to get an order for PT. The PMD said have
the
neurosurgeon write the order. I called them and she left a note for him
to call.
He's the one who said have surgery. He better write that PT order.
	Now I have the keyboard tray and my chair is really low. SO far
not bad
