Thank you all for your opinions. I like reading them.

Yesterday, after a sick day, to deal with my son's being admitted, people say to me, how's your son. I say Ok, because I don't want to bring up all the emotions boiling inside me. Don't want to cry in front of the big boss. My close co-worker, I can trust, I was able to open uo to. The others, well I just said his brain hasva boo-boo, end of discussion.

Today I had to call wirk to let them know I'll miss half my shift. I have to go see my son's md in a hospital over an hour away.

This means more questions when I get to work. Too stressfull!! I may dodge the questions of concern and move on. I may say the truth, let it be out there.
