I was just informed that my workers comp was not going to cover my chiari surgery, but POSSIBLY my syringomyelia. They've determined that the chiari was always there and the my work injury aggravated the syrinx in my spine. I'm so blown away with emotion and sadness that I can even take care of my children. Is it time for a Lawyer? Does anyone out there have any idea what chiari surgery costs and are there any grants/benefits that I can apply for? I need help in a desperate way. SOON!!
