Not sure what I should be doing

[sapphiremommy]

My claim is fairly recently but I'm completely confused on what I should be doing.

This past Thursday (Oct 29th) I fell at work which resulted in a minor fracture on my tailbone and some major bruising. Needless to say it's extremely painful to sit for long periods of time and my job is a desk job. I stayed out all of the 29th/30th and through the weekend. Yesterday I decided to try and return to work and stayed all day but by the end of the day I was so sore I could hardly walk. I was so physically and mentally exhausted I passed out as soon as I could. Today I came in again but informed them I was only staying to cover the office while my coworker was in a meeting. That sitting all day again just wasn't goign to happen cause no matter what I try it still extremely painful. My boss then informed me b/c of the amount of time missed he's going to file it under his workers comp policy.

Now I don't know what to do. Should I stay out of work? Should I be trying to do some work as I can? To top all this off I'm currently 18 weeks pregnant. There are concerns that I may be forced to have a c-sect to deliver this baby, that the tailbone may not heal properly therefore making it prone to a complete break. I've had 2 successful natural births before with no complications so besides the tailbone issue there was no reason to believe I wouldn't have been able to do it again.

I'm don't want a huge settlement or anything, jsut for my salary to be paid while I can't work and any medical bills above what we normally would have experienced as well. I'm just afraid I'm going to get really screwed now b/c I did come in for yesterday adn part of today cause I was trying to not blow it all out of proportion
