RE: Off Work
I went today for an Ortho Consul. Left there with bad news. The disc plate on the C5-C6 fusion has slipped and is pressing on the
C7 disc. The Ortho is sending my POR a letter today, as the C4
disc is weak and not part of my claim. The C7 disc is bad and he wants to go back into my neck and do a 3 level fsuion. The C4 through the C7. I am sure it will be hell with workmans comp now. I see my POR next week and he should have the Ortho's letter and they can get started on the paperwork..

If you start your own thread those that have had your injury will be better able to see your question remember to put in your state

RE: Off Work
I went by work today and picked up my check stub. Boy was I given the cold shoulder. I asked the manager I worked with if we could talk. he had the nerve to tell me he did not have time for me. he was sitting on his arss and doing nothing, but did not have time to give me 2 times. After I have covered his but for 5 years, did all the physical labor in the store while he sit, and watched him still 20 plus hours a week from the company, when he would leave early. Boy what a way to treat someone. But some day he will get his..and I hope i get to see it in my life time. what an ass not even 2 minutes of his time for me...

RE: Off Work
Jayne I still have the keys. When they close the store and call me for them. I believe I will drive them up there and tell him to his face what a 2 faced ass he has really been for the last 5 years. At least it would get if off my chest.

RE: Off Work
doesnt do any good...My co-worker was my best friend (I thought) until I got hurt and she thought she could get my job......People turn into SOBs when they get told to keep their job or talk to the injured co worker....the job wins everytime...sad state of affairs when companies are allowed to give that choice.......
