Wishing good luck and vibs at the appointment Moose. Welcome to the gang here! Hope we can help fill in the blanks. The w/c battle is one so many of us understand. especially if it is a back or repetative strain problem, the hope we go away and take their headache with them.

I would certainly talk to a lawyer, repetative injury TOS is life long and needs lots of restrictions and accomadations.
Keep us updated. You job sounds so interesting WOW, what stories you must have.
