Thanks, Kathy. Maybe a scooter would be easier to get than a wheelchair. I hadn't thought of that. I'd like to bring some suggestions to my dr's appt Monday and that will be one of them.
I was very hurt by their comments and was crying the entire time. They didn't say a word when I said only my ability to do my job should be what matters...they know I can do my job. It really is discrimination but they're trying to say they just care about my health. I think it's all bs, but of course there's no way I can prove that. Maybe getting my dr. to write them a note saying I'm perfectly capable of doing my job will be enough...although, I'm pretty sure they'll look for any reason to let me go if I do that. I feel like I'm stuck in a catch 22.
How did you ever make it after losing your job? Were you able to find a new job? If I could just get into "remission" I think I'd be ok. However, money is beyond tight and the only thing that helped so far was the ketamine infusions....which the dr. I went to for those decided that he doesn't do infusions anymore. I know he does. So, I have to assume he just doesn't want to deal with me anymore either because either: A. he knows I don't have the money, or B. because I called him out on the insurance company covering the claim. Since Blue Cross outright says they don't cover it for chronic pain, he must've lied about what exactly he gave me in order to get it paid.
