Kath! Goodness well I think you have every reason to insist on more than a month off and with your latest heart scan results particularly! I actually found a component of income protection in one of my Supers, was a long process but I was approved and they now pay the 2 days I don't work up to 85% and will do until Jan 2018.
Johnann - I agree, this week Im beyond fatigued and only worked 2 days. Im collapsing the minute I get home but having to get up and keep going being a single parent. I have no support and everyone thinks your long past treatment your OK and back to normal!!!
I have a holiday pending next month, so will go and when I come back I'll have direction of surgery and then I want to stop working completely for a whole year if my income protection will cover it. I deserve it and I want to put me FIRST to hell with work after all these years and nearly killing myself....makes no difference. So everything is on my terms now. I want to recover and for me that would be a dream to not have to worry about work, concentrate on me, my health and kids.
Hugs xoxoxo
