I'm glad that you didn't wig out at the supervisor. I am sorry that she "didn't get it" when you explained your case load. That really sucks.

Yeah, I definitely know what it's like to work many hours with fibro. I was a home care provider for a mentally challenged/physically disabled individual. 24/7 I lived with him. I had some time off each week but it was never long enough to really let down and relax. It was always a constant in my life for 3 years.

After 3 years, I lost my job for 2 reasons, one was because the individual was deemed medically fragile and needed more hands on assistance and two, because of my fibro, I was unable to give him that assistance. It was hard to say goodbye under those circumstances. He passed a year later.....it was sad.

I said all that to let you know that I absolutely understand how difficult it is to put those kinds of hours in. I'll keep you in my prayers for some relaxation the rest of this weekend for you. I hope you can find some rejuvenation!
Thanks for this!
