Thank you Mark, I have looked up some #s for some ADA specialists that I will call tomorrow morning when they open. great advice.

I work for a small non-profit that does government contract work.

Track record on human resources issues with them:

Had to file a worker's comp last year for an x-ray and the whole office went nuts trying to figure it out and eventually too much time lapsed and they had to pay out-of-pocket.

so..not confident they will know how to handle this.

also, i am dreading going in there. i don't want them to see me as weak, or trying to "get something" from them, or a hypochondriac.

hard to accept that there are bigger problems now than how i end up seeming to other people. but the pride issue is there.
