Workers' Compensation Discussion Forums

Hello everyone, its been a while..Just wanted to let you all know that I had surgery on my right shoulder. (rim rant tear,fixed my bicep, fixed impengment had to cut bone.) I want to thank everyone for the advice about doing my therapy at home as well at therapy. Everyone was correct to it is very painfull. I have been struggling with depression. Since I had my c5-c6 fused in oct just got released jan 5. then had shoulder surgery jan 12. I was told i would not be able to go back to the work i used to do. I loved my job. Its been realy hard on my family.. I went from being a very active person and independent to been dependent on everyone else. I tried to keep a positive outlook but it very hard. I appreciate this forum so much this helps to be able to talk to others who know what you are going through. Thanks for letting me vent.

Hardworker, Glad you updated us, Sorry you are still having trouble. Come on over to the off topic area, and join in on some of the fun, There you can vent all you want, and share a few laughs.

hi, thanks for the update, this forum is the best. i hope you continue to improve. i am hoping i can go back to work soon but i am also afraid i won't be able to do it. and i know what you mean about being active before wc to having to depend on others. it sucks for us but at least here we can talk about things alot of other people wouldn't understand. take care, things will look up

I know the feeling and take the help so you dont hurt anything they fixed and i wish you well.
