[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m a teacher (vaccinated/boosted). I had three students out this past week with Covid (all three of these students do not wear masks).  I also have families who have stopped the in-school testing for their children (these students don’t wear masks at school). My situation may not be something that comes to mind with many of you. I am scheduled to have surgery in less than four weeks. If I test positive for Covid, I can’t have surgery. My surgeon wanted to operate sooner, but I wanted to wait until school was over. It’s a surgery with a long recovery and I need the summer to recuperate. I am doing everything I can while in the classroom (including wearing a proper mask) to avoid testing positive. It doesn’t matter if I’m asymptomatic. A positive test result means I can’t have surgery in June.

Sometimes testing is about protecting others who may have situations you know nothing about. [/quote]

As someone with immediate family members with complicated medical conditions, I’m fairly sympathetic to those, but I’m pretty confused by what sort of surgery would have such a long recovery period that you [b]couldn’t wait 2 weeks after school and still be able to work in the fall.[/b] One of my family members was jogging less than 3 months after a liver transplant, and there aren’t a lot of procedures with longer recovery times than that.[/quote]

Having surgery at the end of June gives me the time to recover so I WILL be able to work in August.
