My employer doesn't have an HR dept....is that shady??? So, there's no-one I can report this to really. It's a small company (well under 100 people). Also, the director of operations said the VP was the one that came to her about it and I have a sneaking suspicion that my boss was the one that brought it up to him. It was the way he chimed in to say the VP asked him about it that made me think he was covering up something. So, I really can't report discrimination to anyone there. I'd have to file a claim with some state or govt agency if I wanted to take any actions against them.

Anyway, unless I can sue them and get enough money to last the rest of my life, I'd really rather just keep my job....at least until I can get into remission well enough to go looking for a better job. I can't consult with a lawyer before my dr. appt. So, I'm going to tell my dr. what they said and how I feel and see what he wants to do. I hope he doesn't leave it up to me though. Maybe if he writes me out for only a few weeks and makes it clear that it won't be permanent, that'll be enough to show them I did what they wanted but I'm very much capable of doing my job. I don't know anything for sure....

Keep the opinions coming. I'd like to hear all sides. I still haven't made up my mind, but if they're just worried about me hurting myself at work, maybe I can find a way to ensure them that I won't....like getting a scooter to transport me from my car to my desk. I'll have to do a better job of hiding the pain at work though. I did that fine with my hand because I stopped using it. So, maybe if I can stop walking, they won't see me in pain and they'll be less worried. Who knows? I don't think I'll make up my mind until I'm at the dr. though and even then I think I'll make him decide whether or not I should be working instead of asking what I want to do. I really don't see how he could say I can't do my job, but he may want me to rest a little longer, which will give me time to consult a lawyer and see what I can do about getting another ketamine infusion.

I don't see how a walker will help when I can only use one hand. I'm not sure what a rollabout is. Is that some kind of motorized scooter I can sit on? I could get a ride to and from work if I had to, but that shouldn't be any of their concern anyway. I don't drive a company vehicle or anything like that. I guess if it's against the law, I'll stop driving until my right foot is better (hopefully that'll happen). I certainly don't need them reporting me to the police out of spite.
