I had the legal right to not be FORCED back into work. I didn't show up for the appointment and now it's a fight between the union and the employer. I don't understand the rules that say the employer has the right to supercede your doctors' recommendations and treat you as if you were nothing more than a slave to do their every bidding.

I haven't gotten any word yet from my union leader and I'm going a little crazy at times thinking about it. The unknown is scary. I almost feel like I'm in a dark pit, cut off from the world. This is hard on my nerves. I feel confused. I still need to HEAL from the stroke. I have physically recovered from it but inside my brain I'm still looking to re-assemble the parts (that's what it feels like) I hate this feeling of anxiety that's poisoning my day. I want GOOD news
