Not going to work today

On Friday my cramps and bleeding were so severe I had to leave early at lunch time. I dealt with the same thing all weekend and it's still not slowing down. So I will definitely be calling in sick today.

This always makes me nervous because the last thing I need is to lose my job, but I'm backed into a corner by my own body and chronic health issues. My health insurance kicked in on November 1st, so my next step is to make an appointment for an OB/GYN exam so that I can finally see what treatments (if any) are available for menorrhagia/PCOS/endometriosis.

My bf says they can't fire me for this. He has a very good friend who is a labor lawyer and my bf has already been asking him questions on my behalf just in case my boss wants me gone. This stress I'm feeling is not doing any favors for my health, but it is what it is. 😔
