OT: Worker's Comp Update

Well, I went to the w/c doc Monday and he put me back on regular duty. I have to go back next Monday when I feel I'll be discharged. Meanwhile, the w/c carrier still has not approved physical therapy for me.

Tuesday I had to take my old kitty, Bobo (18 years old) to the vet. He's been pawing at his mouth when he eats so i thought maybe he had a bad or broken tooth. After blood work and urinalysis, the diagnosis was early stage kidney and pancreatic disease. He's on antibiotics and special food and has to go back on the 18th for more blood work. He's still not feeling well and periodically gags. I know his time left with me is drawing to an end, and I'm no way ready to be Boboless, but I will not let him suffer. When I see that it's time to let him go, I will, with love and with deep sadness, but knowing he will come back to me some day.

Today was pay day and not only did I get docked for the 3 hours spent at the w/c doctor, I also did not get paid for the 4th of July holiday due to a screw-up. Not a good time since I just had to shell out $206 to the vet.

I'm almost out of Mobic, which seems to be working well on the hip pain, and to get it without insurance will cost me $99.89 a month.

For the good news, TMIL sent me another BFNR and in this one was a long, LONG strand of absolutely GORGEOUS labradorite chips. BIG chips. I had asked him to see if the store in Lafayette (Earthly Treasures) had any and to let me know how much, and instead I got some as a gift. He is too much and I know in his own fashion he loves me.

Okay, I have to go fondle them some more while I pet Bobo with the other hand.

Hi Linda,

I have such issues with Workers' Comp, I don't think I can be helpful. But boy oh boy do I feel for you.

Ahhhh, not sure about where your at, but the law states you have 8 hours pay the company has to pay for workers comp, regardless how it is used. Also if you had Ins when you went out on W/C, the company can not cancel it! might be in your best interest to check with a W/C lawyer about it. That should only cost $20.
