Hiya~
I am definitely in the right spot and after reading two posts in RDS & Work Comp I realize I'll not be leaving this spot anytime soon. I just had a very simple, quick question and Google brought this up. It's a one word answer.

Apparently there's a three year waiting period before the chaotic process begins AND by the time you are halfway there-- the approval for the thumb is useless because
{the wind blew and I'm blinded by this tingling halfway up my arm -but there was no way to know the third kind of topical cream wasn't the magic feather and thank God w/c didn't approve the refill because the special "mail" pharmacy/PROMO? thing was expensive and required the coordination of three separate institutions to contact the pharmacy (and one of those was an appointment setter to get to the other one) and then there was the issue with the postman... }
my hand has exploded and it may or may not be re attachable but we won't know till 6 months after the unnecessary exploratory surgery and we treat with every topical cream known to man, and postpone the nerve block until we have the second surgeon's last three office visit reports from 4 months ago and let's wait till after the holiday and that will allow time for the three professional evaluations to diagnose the exploded hand and..
and now
one of them must be a minimum of 6 hours away??

What was the question again? I took a number and thought I'd come say Hi.

I also just read some fun facts in symptoms, progression and treatments that explained waay too much that I wasn't even questioning and I'm pretty sure I missed the "catch it early" grace period by a year. And it just sunk in that this in a support group. And that I typed all that with my hands.

I'm gonna go process this over in mental health.

It is a relief to be among you.
