Sad to say...what should have been a crowning moment and joyous occassion for me has now turned quite ugly quite fast. I was told I should not report to work and that I would be contacted by someone at corporate which happened this afternoon. Sadly...instead of doing the right thing and allowing me to return to work they have decided to illegally discrimminate against me for my disability and retaliate against me for filing a work comp claim. It was said in no uncertain terms that they would not start termination proceedings against me until my work comp claim is closed but that upon close of my claim it will result in my separation from employment (I think this terminology was used because they hope that I will include resignation as part of the work comp settlement...which I will not). Disappointing...and I very emotional and upset right now...but I will fight this and file a charge against them with the EEOC and get myself a good employment attorney. I really really wish they had just done the right thing so that it did not need to come to this but I cannot control the actions of others. They will do what they will do and I will do what I have to so that I protect my rights. So sad...but life will go on.

Good news is that I should be able to start the tDCS treatments immediately since I will not have to adjust to my work schedule first. Small ray of sunshine in this otherwise dark situation...but I'll take it and continue to focus on improving my health while I go through all the legal battles.
