Guest guest Posted November 6, 2005 Report Share Posted November 6, 2005 Sorry all, I think my swollen fingers hit the send key and sent ya'll a blank message... Donelle, speaking of taking time off, what about the FMLA act? I haven't looked into it for some time, but if you start the paperwork for that, you can take time off....I don't think it is paid time but maybe you could offset your 3 days per week with thisn if you are worried about your job? I don't know, I just can't imagine myself telling one of my employees that they couldn't take all the time they needed off in this situation and pay the company back with 110% efforts at a later date. Thinking of you guys....love donna Donna Wilkinson wrote: Grandmommyandme@... wrote: In a message dated 11/4/2005 5:31:49 PM Eastern Standard Time, mlhilbrand@... writes: My advice:: Tell your boss that you are on leave until further notice. Spend every moment you can with Glenn. Believe me, you will cherish these moments in the months to come. Work will always be there, and somehow, the bills will get paid, don't let yourself worry about it for now. Talk to him, even if you think he isn't listening and is probably only conscous & coherant part of the time. Talk about the good memories, play your favorite music, spend time cuddling, and tell him how much you love him, are going to miss him, but understand and will be okay. As he becomes more confused, he may say things he doesn't mean, it is the disease, not him. Try to remember that. Thanks ....I have such a hard time asking for help...and all of you are just being wonderful friends...helping me to get some kind of plan for the days ahead... I need you all and am so lucky to have you. Lots of hugs and prayers, Donelle Caregiver to Glenn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
