Yesterday was my birthday - I'm 43 now. In my mail box I received a slip for a certified letter from my employer.
I picked up the letter this afternoon as soon as the rapid filling of my colostomy bag subsided from consuming the bowel prep for my colostomy reversal tomrrow.
I've been out of work since late April because I had a ruptured diverticular pouch with a severe abdominal infection. After being in patient for 3 weeks I went to convales at my fathers house.
I am fired because I failed to return from a "personal" leave for the surgery and to regain my health for the reversal tomrrow.
What an insensitive thing to do to a person on thier birthday and while they are sick! What a way to shave pennies!
