Although my mental pain was eased her physical pain didn't. But the stress for her was greatly reduced which is a damn good thing.
Sleep good Cindi!! |
Sadly, I didn't get any backpay and my lawyer and I don't know why. We decided not to fight it because of all the training that I had in my position, a judge could easily resended the decision and said that I could go to a different job, so we left well alone..
I am making the same amount of money that I did about 4 years ago. By this I mean with all the extra deductibles that I had taken out of my work paycheck for eye, dental, life, and medical along with union dues and donations to the sick bank, it may be a little more. I didn't qualify for SSI.... Not having the financial burden in our family is better than winning the lottery. It makes me feel like a contributing member of my family and a weight has been lifted off my shoulders.
Peace of mind is good medicine
