Hugs Jesika...I am SO very sorry for everything that you are going though. I feel like I went to hell and back with my employer and I eventually did come out the other side...but it was a long crummy battle.

You definitely need to keep sticking up for yourself with your attorney. Sounds like a real jerk...mine was that way too. I didn't want to settle, went to trial, won a decent award, work comp appeals, award was significantly reduced, and then my attorney turned into a jerk and clearly just didn't want to fight any more. Pushed and pushed and pushed for me to settle and actually got verbally abusive at a point where I felt like breaking already even without that. Stay strong and know you always have a place to vent. I know it helped me a lot when I was going through all that to have this place even just to get all my thoughts out of my head and clear my mind so I could focus on what I really needed to worry about...my health.

This is just an incredibly crummy turn of events for you and I hope that things start turning around soon. Take care of yourself.
