So sorry to hear of your bad news! Thank goodness for your "brats" to brighten your day! Unemployment I'm sure will help but I know can't be as much as what you were making. And after 15 years and 20 years? Don't they believe in loyalty? First get yourself well (how about a nice bowl of steamy chicken soup?) and then break out the classifieds, network with friends, etc. Maybe your vets office has a job opening! I hear some give their employees great discounts, LOL! Something great will happen, just hang in there and your friends at PT are here for you
