The good news is that my short term disability claim was approved. But my pdoc put my return to work date as 10-02, and the FMLA paperwork (that she also filled out) says return to work date is 9-15. So I guess I am approved for another month? Is it possible to be relieved and frustrated at the same time?

Is it self-indulgent to take the extra time? I feel torn and confused. I had a fun panic attack today over having to call my boss back to tell her "no I have to have more time off now, k bye!" Yeah.
