Hi Dave,

I am familiar with the Family Medical Leave Act, the problem is that

I believe you only get 12 weeks per year. I used all 12 weeks last

April for the birth of my son. Hmmmmm. What I'm not sure about is

if the short term, runs with the FMLA. We do have short term and I'm

sure I would be eligible for it for the beginning of treatment, but I

don't know if they consider it part of the FMLA. I will find all of

this out. You're very lucky your boss was so great about it. Not

having to worry about your job probably doesn't hurt with the success

of the treatment either. The less stress the better.

I can't imagine that while people are on the tx they don't comply.

If they care about themselves enough to do the tx, why would they

jeopardize it? It may be too much of a controversial subject, so I

won't say anymore.

Thanks again for all of your good advice I really appreciate it.

Have a good weekend. The leaves are just starting to turn here and

it is beautiful, so being outside this weekend is a MUST.

Take care,

Chris
