    I think they did. I usually get mine the next pay period. If it was close enough to the end of the pay period, it sometimes is the following check.

    Her Farmers Market you mean? (She gets grumpy when someone calls it a flea market...which is a glorified yard sale...but I won't tell her)

    Unless she is still in the hospital, she will be at work. They want you up and moving as much as possible as soon as possible. PT usually starts 1 or 2 days after surgery. In fact, if it weren't for some medical condition caused by her apnea, she wouldn't need to go in the hospital for this, her doctor has his own surgrical center where you come in first thing in the morning, get operated on and leave late that afternoon. But she needs a specially trained anesthesiologist that handles her type of apnea problem, so they have to do this in a hospital. They told her yesterday to bring an overnight bag just in case. Her mom had the same surgery and was at home walking with a walker the next day. If the wife is as stubborn as her mom about this, she'll be in the truck waiting on me on market day

    The company surprised me just now...sent out a message that they, along with the ATA and others are going to fight against the employer vaccine mandate...I figured that they would say they would wait and see, and then submit to the gubbermint wishes. I truly hope the stick to their guns on this, and stand their ground.

    My wife has COVID. They did the monoclonal antibodies therapy thing today. She was vaccinated and wears a mask but is a high school teacher in a district with the highest COVID numbers in the state. The day her test came back positive her unvaccinated younger cousin died of it. You don’t want this thing.

    2 of my grandsons had it, along with my daughter and son-in-law. All had fairly mild cases fortunately, except, my son-in-law still has some loss of his sense of smell, but all tested negative multiple times. And they did a covid and mrsa test on the wife before her surgery...both of which came back negative, which is a miracle because she deals with the public every week, along with helping watch both of the grandkids that had covid. None of us have gotten the poke, and none plan to. Most of my family believe as I do, when it's your time, it's your time. Be it covid, cancer, heart attack, a lightening bolt out of the blue sky, a piece of space junk landing on your head or just old age...not a #### thing is gonna change it when it's your time.

    Yet they made me take the sleep apnea test and get a cpap because "we want to get ahead of the government mandating them" what a crock of spit. Oh well.

    (Sarcasm alert..... sarcasm alert)
    They held a gun to your head, while they strapped you down and forced you to do a sleep study? :eek:

    It's very easy to get out of that...look for the sign marked "Exit" and wave bye-bye. Then get a second opinion from a doctor that says you don't have apnea (unless you have apnea) and then you can challenge anything they put on your record stating you needed a sleep study, but refused.

    Oh gee, you don't say? So you agree, these mandates don't actually take away individual choice?
