Impish Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 WCB is demanding a 2 day functional assesssment, today and tomorrow. Please pray that this goes in my favour. Its seemingly the last hoop...that, and another neurosurgeon. *sigh* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MariannNOVA Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 :grouphug::grouphug::grouphug:, prayers and good thoughts -- think positively! My dd29 jumped through her final SSI hoop this past summer and just received a letter last week that the judge ruled in her favor!

Impish Posted January 11, 2010 Author Share Posted January 11, 2010 Thanks everyone. It went as expected...a lot of pain, tears...and with RSD, the pain accelerates for hours. I was just drifting off when WCB called. I now also have a psych appt next Monday, to determine back to work fitness. My hunch is that since the HAG supposedly put me in for 0 hrs (meaning that I get my full pay, no expectation to work at all) they're trying to find a way that I could work at least some hours...ie, if they say I can work 20 hrs a week, they'd subtract that (regardless of IF I was actually working, all mt Drs say I can't) from what I get pd. Its all about them lessening their payout to me, nothing about what I'm actually capable of. I'm exhausted, waiting for Wolf to come home from a pharmacy run for me, then taking more meds and back to bed. I'm so sick and tired of having RSD, of every pain-filled day, and dealing w/WCB. Don't they understand that if I could work, I could also be the wife ad mother I used to be? There's no money on earth that would make RSD a good option. None. I'm crying again, just like I've been on and off all day. I'm so exhausted, so pain riddled...I want my life back. ALL OF IT, including my career, my plans to further that career, being able to do things w/my kids without saying, "Mommy can't, she's hurt..." To be a full woman again. Its not going to happen. WCB just drags it all out, making everything more painful, physically and emotionally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LMA Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 Will pray. Why does your doctor require an assessment? I hope it goes well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Impish Posted January 11, 2010 Author Share Posted January 11, 2010 Mine don't. A dr I saw once, for a medication assessment that WCB sent me for, suggested it in his report...so off I go. All of my drs know how things stand, and are in unanimous agreement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MariannNOVA Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 Hey, Imp: I'm sorry it sucked! Take your meds, and hopefully you will get some relief! Gentle :grouphug::grouphug:. Mariann Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
