Default I'm still dealing with my school district........

I gave my school district a letter from my dr. saying I can return to work part time and that I have a disability. I received a letter from the district on Thurs. afternoon saying they wanted "more information from my dr...including what disability I have".
Mike and I talked to the ADA atty and he said we'll have to play the districts game at this point. He said legally I don't have to tell them what disability I have....BUT IF I want to return to work......I should go ahead and tell them the disability and have my dr. fill out the paperwork.
So tomorrow I have an appt with my dr. Mike and I have written out all the answers to the questions the districts has asked " What percentage of time can you lift, bend, sit, stand, walk yada yada yada!!!" So hopefully my dr. will fill out the paperwork in my favor.....I think he will. He hates paperwork and crap that companies give their workers. I'll let you know how it goes tomorrow....keep your fingers crossed for me!

Best of luck, Roxie. It can be nervracking and tough on the old ego. Hang in there.

Yeah, Rox. (Foxy Roxie),

Good Luck.

By the way, did you see what pics I posted on my thread "Foot Center"?. I took pics of Alan's boot.

And I explained how I put cotton balls between each toes to uncompress his nerves. He says it's working and his pn is much better.

Who knew that just stretching toes (like when you go for a pedicure and they put that thing between your toes), would help with his PN. But he is sitting inside and he said the pain was much better.

Hey, if it works, we do it.

Melody

Good luck with your issues with the school. Just the stress of this can't be good for your PN, so hopefully this will resolve itself soon. Our schools here start this week, how about yours?

Off Topic: Hope "Dean" stays away from Texas.
