Thank you again, I know you put a lot of time into writing me and I'm greatful. I'll clarify a few things only because we don't know each other. I was asking about an attorney because I'm in a "what iff" stage. Like you, I want to be informed just in case. I thought an attorney could give me thE info I needed to understand what I can and can't do, not bring on a case. I read the Ada section regarding health care workers and it would be easy for a huge company to find ways around that if they wanted too, legally. It's reality unfortunately. When my pain is controlled to a certain degree I can function and that's why I would fight to go back to work, I would NEVER put myself or anyone at risk and that is why I'm seeking info now, because what if I do become unable. Thats the sole purpose of my writing. Uncertainty is scary. Knowledge for me is way to feel in control of something even though I know better. What will be, will be. I cannot afford not having sdi or insurance, that s a nasty place i dont want to be. I have limited care now, but would have nothing then. Being afraid of speaking to my employer is real because I am immediately replaceable. There is a waiting list of over 150 applicants currently waiting to do what I do. Simply put, I am seeking info which some of you graciously gave and it is so appreciated. Thank you all again. I will be seeing my pain doc to consider a trial of an external patch rather than oral meds and of course physical therapy. Once I get back to work ill feel human again which eases rsd pain as I found out before. If I can't I'll accept it, I'll speak with my employer with the help of my doc and seek some other type of job more suitable to my condition. Thank you again for spending your time for me, means the world.
