It's been Pretty Slow on Here Lately, so it's Time for a Check In from Everyone!! Me, I'm taking it One Day at a Time, My Pain has Increased, but Fortunately My Second Liver Count was well within Normal Limits, so that's Good News!! I have a Hearing on a Penalty Petition in April, the w/c Appeals Board has given Me another Small Win in the Fact that a Part of My Case, (Approx. Half) was Considered to them to be Unreasonable, so I have Some Attorney's Fees Coming Back, and Possibly Penalty Money on Top of that! After All of this is Resolved, We are gong Outside of the w/c Arena to the Commonwealth Appeals Court over My Wage Issues, (I've been being Underpaid Since Day One, and Only the Commonwealth can Hopefully Expand the Law to Make it Right) My Attorney is Very Confident and so am I, We have only Lost, out of a Total of 14 Petitions now, 1/2 of a Petition that had to Deal with when I could See My PM Dr., but the Outline they gave Me for Seeing My PM Dr. is the same as I have been doing, so it didn't Bother Us a Bit! O.K. That's My Update, lets Jump On Everyone, even if for a Quick Moment to See that You are Around and O.K.!!!
I have settled my case, of course I still have problems with my back, but with the aid of a brace and meds it is under control. I have other medical problems that are a pain, Graves disease, and TED ( thyroid eye disease which effects my vision (double vision. Had blood work yesterday and did ask my Dr about the statin ( Crestor) she took me off and said wait untill we get the lab work back and we will then see. She is concerned with my weight gain and said it looks like fluid retention . Time and tests will tell.

I have an IME next week by request of the judge. My attorney filed to add the back and carpal tunnel to the claim.
The early childhood students I had in my classroom had much better behavior then the attorney for the insurance company did while in court.
There is not alot to say about me. Del has settled and our live continues. halftrak I wish I was with you ... your my thoughts and prayers sweetie. Divorce is not easy. I have never experienced it, but I can't imagine it could be anything any women or man would want to go through. Just call me anytime. I am here in Oregon for now. Pm me if you want a number. I may not check on here until Sunday because I will be at my mother n laws house until Friday and then Saturday I am staying the night at a high school friends house. My friend who visited me in NJ is coming to pick me up and we are going to our mutual friends home. We are both very excited to do this.
I believe most of you know what is happening in my life... I am ususally an open book so there is nothing to say really. However I wanted to check in on this thread and say "hi" and that I miss you all. Love Red
Well I have been missing on here a few days. Been caught up trying to get my unemployment straightened out because they denied me thinking I made only 400.00 for the year.LOL. That is what the paperwork said. They made a mistake of course and said they scanned it in wrong. Missing a few digits of course. I got my first direct deposit yesterday. Shewwwh!!!
I am living back in my house as hubby is still living at the apartment near where I worked. He is thankfully still employed for now. The job is almost finished and we will see what happens. I also got a denial for the pain clinic I wanted to go to. I was denied because WC thought the cost was to high there. I had a long talk with hubby and he told me that I should go to the pain clinic he went to for his back injections which is close to where I live. I checked into it and spoke to the adjuster and he faxed everything ( medical records) over there and I have an appointment for an evaluation tomorrow at noon. Hopefully this new place will find out what is REALLY going on with me as far as a diagnosis.
So that is where I stand now. Out of work and looking forward to new treatments, testing to get rid of my pain as it is now moving to the other hand. I have not forgot about this site and everyone, but just very busy since I have been laid off. Guess that is a good thing as I was very depressed the first week out. Now I am going with the flow and taking care of myself now. It was difficult working as I struggled everyday and now I can take it easy. Glad to see everyone else is well.
Half, I am so sorry and I know how you must feel as I am married 28 yrs now and been together with the same man for 32 yrs. Just try to remember the good times and take care of yourself and now is the time you need your friends. You are not alone. We will always be here for you : )
As for myself, I am awaiting approval from WC for a 2 level lumbar fusion. WC is really playing with me this go round. I posted a thread "Pissed Off" with the complete update as to is happening. I have been in severe pain for the most part lately. The pain is into my last 3 toes so bad that when I bath and go to wash those toes I can hardly stand the pain when I touch them to do the scruby scrub My sister and I hav,e an appointment today with a lawyer regarding my mother's death. That's it for me!
Limbo,
I have been knowing for a long time of your battles. My dear, I know in my heart that everything will go in your favor. As for that penalty money, you go gettem because you honestly deserve it. Don't let them off for anything, Hit them and hit them hard my friend. My lawyer got me 2g in penalty money for not sending me my mileage reimbursement. Always keeping you in my prayers dear friend.
Halftrak,
Honey, I feel your pain. I was there 22 years ago and mine was not an easy divorce. I know this is no consolation for you but pray that it will go easy and quick without batteling each other. I had such a fight it took me over 2 years and 2 lawyers to get my divorce. By that time I hated him so much but we are best friends now. I would love to be able to give you a big hug right now because I truly know you could use one. I will pray for you to go throught this as peaceful as you can.
