Long story short, I was hurt May, 2009 at work, had over 5 fractures right ankle. Plates and screws put in. Downhill from day one. Plates and screws removed March, 2010. Put on rollabout February, 2011. Saw atty.'s dr. March, 2011 rated me at 65% disabled with RSD, (3 dr. to give RSD dx) Saw Workers comp. dr. for 3rd visit in July, 2011 and he says he disagrees with dx. but admits there is nerve involvement, increased sensitivity, right foot colder then left and limited movement. (dah) Says I can work fulltime in a modified position. May need vocational rehab.
The end of August, Workers comp. filled a petition to terminate my weekly wages, stating I could work fulltime. Since then my atty. wants me to start putting in 3 job applications a week. I told him, I still have my job, plus I filled for ssd. He sent the wc attorney asking if my employer would take me back. On Thursday am he calls and tells me he got a letter back stating I was terminated and I needed to start looking, starting on Friday.
Friday am I called my employer to ask if I could get paid my unused vacation and sick, being that I was terminated, the director of HR says You weren't terminated, who told you that. I explained then called the lawyer back and requested a copy of the letter be faxed. I am still waiting and got my ssd approval notice today.
