·I am employed full time, but I miss so much work every year that I have to take Family Medical Leave (U.S. law that forces your employer to keep your job open for 6 weeks while you are ill, without firing you. You don't get paid though.)I am in horrible financial trouble right now. I have just filed bankruptcy, but I have missed 3 days this week and some almost every week for 2 months. I am living hand to mouth. I am having my gallbladder out next Tuesday. So, I will miss more work. I may have to have the regular surgery, not the laproscopic, which could cause me more time off. Short term disability doesn't kick in till you have been absent 20 days. My parents have passed on and my sister too. I am only 47 and have a teenage daughter to support. I am scared.I'm sure some of you have had these kind of problems--what did you do? I live in Texas and I have never applied for any welfare or anything? Anyone have any ideas? Thanks--you guys are so cool.Tessie21
