Scott, my current "employer" is actually and Education Service District which oversees education services for school districts. My department within that great big entity is Early Intervention/Early Childhood Special Education. My Boss within that department is the regional president of an organization outside of our business. But yes it helped immensely when i came to work for her because even though by law i did not have to disclose anything about my injury to my employer i felt like i needed my immediate supervisor to know what she was getting herself into by bringing me on board. If you look at my personnel file from my previous years with the company it is glowing. And there was no way i was going to live up to that hype and the raving reviews that my previous department head had given me when she had called him. So i told her about the attack and let he know that i was only to be 4 wks out from injury when i would start work. She was the perfect boss to get in the middle of all of this. Unfortunately she will in our main office and my "home base" is one of my 5 classrooms. In other words i never see her, but we can email as needed and run into each other every few weeks. I travel to different classrooms for my work across 3 counties.

I do not have an attorney and I'm not really even sure how to go about getting one. I can't afford one, i don't know if i have a case against anyone. Who is going to want to take on the state? And the thought of trying to figure that all out my my head crazy. That is where i need someone to hold my hand through things. But short of family saying how they would spend the money no one seems willing to even help search listings.
