well, the district I work for informed me that after I use up my sick bank

I had over 200 days and they are now taking 5 hours a day from that bank

that at some point they will start charging me $220.00 a day for being out

really I have worked for them 13 years...and I am so upset by this, because with all the therapy I have tried I am still having most of my symptoms and I may get a breather for 5 to 7 hours in the later day....

so just let me know if you would how long you have been "temporarily disabled" due to post concussion syndrome

thank you

PS I am a 64 year old female...it is not a sports injury
Hi Judy,
I think the conventional wisdom is that most people suffer from PCS for 3-6 months. I had my worst symptoms for about 6 months but certain symptoms have lingered for two years. It sounds like you might need to contact someone in you HR department about disability leave.
