Heart Hi Jenny, Cathy, and NER

Oh that road of Worker's Compensation can be so very long and ridden with many a hole, twist, and obstacle as all are thown up by a system which does not want to pay without making absolutely SURE of the necessity to care for an injured worker. I am one. It took 34 surgeries basically to reassemble the Humpty Dumpty I had been prior to the car wreck on I-70 which ruined my career by the way, changed life radically, and made me for many long years wonder whether active life was just OVER.

I had to have the assistance of an excellent Worker's Comp lawyer to pursue the claim. Nobody wants to pay, whether for surgery, aftercare, or the injury itself and the earning impact on the injured worker. My wife and I felt many times the system was evil, the companies were evil, the executives were evil, and we so wanted to be able to strike out. Staying the course was our chosed way of striking out at the insurance company. Ding Dang them all. We finally reached a place of success and there is now some provision for future care which may relate to my bodily needs. I just SO HOPE I will not need more surgery.

This care giving place is chock full of so many wonderful people who come up alongside and share experience, knowledge, hope for a brighter tomorrow, and even rants and tears with you as the path to pain management winds its long course down that road I mentioned.

I have found so much help and comfort here, I hope you will also find this to be a place of JOY for you just as I have by participating among all of us who need.
Prayers offered liberally,
Mark56
