Thank you Jo for your reply and for the info!!

The dog attacked happened while at work, and the owner was wanting to introduce me and my client to the guard dog so we wouldn't beafraid of it... He was in a small room with a half door and I was told to pet him so while reaching over the door, the dog attacked and a quick little tug of war ensued. Not sure who won, me or the dog... This happened in May, had ptand injections,then surgery, more pt and another injection.

The ortho claims it is RSD and a specialist for WC also says it is that, but I will read through the links and mention it to the ortho when I see him in a couple weeks. I have only a couple more visits with pt, so changing now would likely not fly, good idea though!!!

I do have a WC lawyer at this time, and have had many lovely battles with my employer so far, it is an unusual circumstance. Who gets attack by a dog while working as a job coach...

I feel so much better just knowing there are others out there to talk to, but saddened I'm not alone in this... Would not want anyone to feel this fire!!

Thanks again,
Dawn
