Sorry I haven't been on much. I do read everything though. I've been working a lot of overtime.
My husband was to have a court date on June 17th. The lawyer finally entered his appearance and canceled it. He has a appt with a dr the attorney chose on Aug 17th. I guess he was wanting another opinion. WC sent him to a dr for "pain mgmt" since released from his surgeon. This dr just looked at his records and refilled his scripts. He did ask if he wanted off the narcotics. My husbands said he would like to get off them so he also gave him a script for a less powerful pain med. They don't work well so he basicly takes them when out of the others. I used to keep track of his pills but stopped. He also doesn't keep them out. I get pretty upset by the amount consumed on a daily basis. Not that they are not needed, just that no other options are given him or that he's not monitored. No blood work has ever been taken since his injury.
His depression is up and down. Some days I come home from work and you know its a bad day. Not much done around the house. I know me working so many hrs lately makes it worse. His unemployment he receives is next to nothing since he hadn't worked before he got hurt.
I am on vacation this week so we will be appying for disability finally. He's not real motivated on his own.
