Teresa, I wanted to let you know, I have a call into Dr. Semertzides from 3 days ago, and no contact has been made either. I think he may be out of town, or the nurse is not passing on his messages. The first time I called, I spoke on his answering machine, and he called me back within twenty minutes. Both times I have left messages with his office, he has not returned my call. So, I think we are both in the same predicament. I also have been released from work for the last few days for extreme adhesion pain. My boss and I don't even talk any more. He is so much into this attendance, attendance, attendance attitude, that it does no good. I do however have the support of my union (teachers) behind me 100%, and they say he can't do anything to me, as long as I have Dr.'s notes for every time I miss. I hope something I have said will help you in some way. I know how hard it is to deal with this disease, and very few people understand our problems, or even want to understand us. I hope some day that people will understand all of the discomforts we all must endure on a daily basis.
