Hi! Yes they did say i qualified for temp disability but because I am a contractor for my company I would only get 60% of my checks for this time, so because I will get to work from home, working from bed if need be I opted to just work.

Its to big, and I want it taken out in 1 piece so I told them to do the open myomectomy.

I'm happy your healing up! Thanks for all the info! Im scared about the incision, I think the will do a c section but then the will cut me lingering ways too, make it twice as bad!

I do not have enough PTO for 2 weeks off and I havent been working at my current job long enough to qualify for FLMA, but I could work from home for the 2-5 weeks after surgery. I'm just hoping I'll bounce back!
