Today when they told me they were letting me go they made it clear that when I get my medical issues under control they want me to come back to work there. They also gave me 2 weeks severance pay and are going to pay my Cobra insurance for 2 months. They were not obligated to do any of this for me. I go to my pain management Dr on Wednesday and hopefully I can get them to figure something out that will work and no more medication that causes adverse reactions. At least I will be able to py my October rent because of this.
