Sep 2014

she's going to go back to work tomorrow. Of all things, she doesn't want to use her PDOs unless she has to.

If she does use the 80 hours of PDO, she can then go on short term disability, which we hope will lead to long term

disability payments. The FMLA is in place but only to be used in short amounts, not a short term disability platform.

We haven't discussed anything about hospice, it seems like such a final matter.

thank you so much for the replies,
