From Roon 537 - Darn It!

This is certainly not how I planned to start my weekend.  But since my platelets were at 2000 and my hemoglobin was below 8, Doctor Begum thought it best that I get admitted to the hospital.  She was quite concerned about me being at home alone with my counts as low as they were even if I got platelets late this afternoon.  Megan went with me to the appointment and she wanted me to follow doctor's orders.

I will not be working at the office next week because Dr. Begum said I am getting very run down.  What she was hoping and suggested is that I could work from home.  Again I ran into a huge road block because my dean won't give me an answer as to whether or not I can do that.  You see, we've never had a front office staff member work from home before , so she had to think about it.  Of course I had to leave the office today before she had decided upon an answer for that nor had she given me an answer about working on Saturdays.  Guess what I will be doing early on Monday morning.  If you guessed calling the Director of Human Resources, you would be absolutely right.  Of course the fact that no one has ever been in my situation before doesn't seem to make any difference to her.  I've never seen anyone who is so afraid of making a decision.  There is no reason I can't work at home because what I have to do that needs to be done fairly urgently is stuff that I can take home and use a college laptop loaded with the appropriate software and have them give me the rights to working remotely.  Heaven forbid we should try to work with an employee to make her life it easier when she's going through something life threatening like cancer.  Why that might set a nasty precedence!  Good grief this should all be over by Christmas; whats going the big deal?

Well, they are here to give me my first unit of blood & once that starts, I'm pretty sure I'll be in nah-nah land. 

Obviously, with this new turn of events, intercessory prayers are even more appreciated.  Please help me pray for strength, improvement in my day-to-day life. and as much as anything, that the dean will allow me to work from home.

May our loving Heavenly Father grant you peace, love,  hope, and joy this evening and throughout the weekend as I rest in His Loving Arms.
