Here me out before you judge me. I had to have an organ transplant two years ago because of an autoimmune disease. I spent six months in the hospital due to acute rejection and bile duct restriction. I had to take a medical leave from work and spent most of that time in the hospital. Although being in the hospital sucks, stuck on a room all day, crummy hospital food, constantly getting blood drawn and vitals checked, I find myself often day dreaming of being back in the hospital to have a break from work. It was nice to rest and focus on getting better.
Am I sick? Is this Munchausen’s? I don’t want attention from anyone I just want a break.
I’m not making myself sick, I’m not hoping for a disease to go back, I just wish something would happen and I could see my doctors again and get a break from work. I just want to go on FMLA because I need a moment to breath. Has anyone else been in the hospital before and thankful they got a chance to rest and recover?
How is this the only way I can get time off? Why is wishing to be in the hospital again the only option. I have 3 sick days and no vacation. I’m just so sad and wish I could take some time to breathe.
