I didn’t know that I could go back to work and not drop my case, but it makes sense. Test the waters and see how it goes. I quit working in July of 2016 because of COPD. Is a Closed Period Award pay for the time a person wasn’t working? We do have a Voc Rehab here in Reno. I know a few people that have gone there and it worked out well for them. I will call and get some info. No, my atty has not addressed the listing. The majority of my correspondence since the denial has been with the paralegal through e-mail and phone. I’m ok with this because he responds right away and also sends me updates. No my health hasn’t improved. I was just recently dx with DDD, so I have an officially been dx with COPD, diverticulosis AND colitis and DDD. All of these conditions have exacerbations and that’s when working would be impossible, there are not many employers that would let you take weeks off work because you’re sick several times a year. Maybe some temp work? I don’t know ? I’m sorry you have CRPS, it’s a nightmare. Yes, you are right about WC doctors, it feels like they just shuffle him through their offices with no real answers. One of his biggest frustrations is he feels like no one hears him. He just went to a PT for an FCE and she told him not to lose hope, that people with CRPS do get better and that with some effort on his part he could too. This was a huge moment for him. Just knowing that he was heard and offered some hope… Yep, our life right now is pretty stressful. And things keep pilling up. We just had our older cat put down and it was/is hard and painful, we had him for eighteen years and he was a part of the family. My dad has Non Hodgkin's Lymphoma and I found out yesterday that it has metastasis. He also has heart problems and diabetes and I feel in my heart that he won’t be here for much longer. I feel like before we can even get up and dust ourselves off, another tidal wave hits. But I also know that there are so many people on this earth that have it way worse than we do. So, I’m truly thankful for what we do have. It seems like the more that’s pilled on, the closer my husband and I get. We are big believers that communication and support make the marriage and we’ve stuck to the promise that we would not sweep anything under the rug…. We do have bad days, frustration, anxiety etc. but we are there for each other and support each other. Again,thanks for taking the time to respond. |
