There is nothing like a health condition to bring home the importance of becoming informed about actions to take at work to move forward toward your goals, as well as to watch your back.

The number of things to think about can seem overwhelming when described in one place as they are in this article. This is especially so when you already have a lot on your plate just dealing with your health condition and the emotions that come with it. No matter how preoccupied you may feel, this is the time to become informed.

Do what you can. Skim this article to get an idea of the subjects. Most are about what happens at work. Some are matters to take care of while you're working.

Make a list in order of your priorities  -- then do one thing at a time.

Even if you decide not to take any of the steps described, at least you will be making an informed decision with an understanding of what you're doing. That's a lot better position to be in than being surprised later simply because you were not aware.

If you are not up to it, ask a family member or trusted friend to read this document and help determine what you should be doing in order of priority.

NOTE: When you have contact with your employer about your health condition, make notes. Keep copies of all documents you send.
