The comment about the sick pay was pretty much off the cuff. Never computed it, don't really care. At the time it just seemed like a big number to lose. Having a 100% blockage at the top of your left anterior descending artery tends to change your outlook on lots of things.

Took a look at my last paycheck - it looks like I'm getting reimbursed for about 75% of the DPMA amount. I'm certainly happy with the DPMA, although I had hoped I would never need it. Nice people to work with.

I'm in the 270 hour group. Fortunately I hadn't used any this year so I've been able to go until next week before running out.

If anyone wants any info about the process, feel free to PM me. It's a real pain in the butt, and the outcome for me is still up in the air.
