Therapy..part 7..

ok..let me tell you about my job..back in december...of 09..they gave  a christmas present i will never forget..they laid me off and said theyed call me back in april..at first it was nice having the time off but after awhile, i watched my savings dwindeling..and by march, they were almost gone..well lucky for me..they called me back but the conditions werent very good...they gave me only part time..and 24 hours a week just wasent enough..but they informed me that they were the ones paying the unemployment and if i refused, they would cut off the unemployment for refusing work...so i went back to them..but the one bright side was they gave me my own office on the second floor..it was nice..i had my privacy..and could blissfully do my work...well when we went into april..it started to get really warm up there so i kept a fan in my window.. but then when we went into may..it got hot so i broke down and asked them to turn on the ac up there..that is when i found out..the ac dont work on the second floor..it was never hooked up because nobody ever had an office up there before..but they said they would get it fixed for me...well they never did..i sat up there seven hours a day when the temp would be 88 degrees or higher...the fans just circulated the hot air around...i asked if i could work on the first floor with the other girls and was told no..my computer was up there and they werent paying to have it hooked up downstairs...but they would try to get the ac fixrd up in my office..they never did..i sat up there everyday in the sweltering heat..and nobody cared..well it all came to a head on thursday june 3rd of this year...it was 99 degrees up there and i started feeling really sick..everybody leaves the office at six except me, i leave at eight..but that nite, i asked one of the girls to leave her pc on so i could work downstairs til i left..she knows it wasent allowed but she felt sorry for me and did it... so for the next two hours i worked in the ac..it was heaven but i was really sick by then..and at eight i left and headed for the long drive home..i thought maybe if i ate..id feel better so i stopped at Wendys and grabbed a burger..when i got home..i ate it but it didnt help..as the nite went on..the pain got worse..i couldnt sleep..my body and face was swelling and first thing in the morning..i went to the hospital..they ran tests and immediatly admitted me for severe dehydration..they couldnt even find a vein at first to put in the ivs..but my final diagnoses was my gall bladder was very infected and full stones it was ready to rupture..it had spread into my surrounding orgons so they put me on an antibiotic iv with the fluids and also..morphine for the pain...after 36 hours, they sent  me home with antibiotics,and  pain pills to clear up the infection and i would go next week for the surgery..well i didnt make it 3 days and i was under the knife...but im happy because the doctor made me take 30 days off the get well...so unfortunatly, i have to go back july 10th..but my plan is..i have the time to search for another job and thats what i plan to do...i will never go back there again...i stopped out there a few days ago to give them my note from the doctor and found out..they still havent fixed the ac upstairs..and thats when i decided...i will never go back there again..wish me luck.........Linda
