My boss does know about my health and treatment plan. In fact, she once offered to drive me to my ECT appointment, a trip that would have been three hours each way for her after she got me then took me to the hospital.
I am going to be completely open with her about the concerns I have, primarily the fact that ECT makes it very difficult to recall all the details I must to do a satisfactory job at the higher level. Though it wouldn't be full time, it would be an increase from my current 16 hours/week to over 20/week.
Setting a response date is a good idea. She'll be at my office on Monday, so as long as my doc doesn't schedule another treatment right away, I should be able to talk with her face to face.
