Thank you for the compassionate reply. Everyone is so supportive here. I'm glad we help one another.

To answer. I do not have a lawyer. I debated going the legal route earlier in my journey but put it on back burner as I don't really feel capable of all the work they require. In my experience with lawyers unless you do most of the work you will not get anywhere. So in my injured state I can't even remember to eat, dead serious. I have reminders for everything. And still my husband has to text me to ask if I've eaten or drank anything in the daytime while alone.

The thought of having to advocate for myself and do more paperwork is just impossible to imagine. So I do my best but like I said I'm very subdued in person. I don't like to talk much because of how I sound, plus my thoughts are difficult to organize aloud. Paperwork makes my head spin so I avoid all those stressors.

It sounds a bit melancholy but the truth is I have only enough fight left in me to cope with my every day survival. Adding any expectations from more 'professionals' is just not an option yet.

More answers: I didn't even think to ask for a copy of his report. Didn't occur to me. I wish it had!

As for the WCB case worker, besides one bad altercation in December she has eased up somewhat... Well, it's not like she's pleasant but not adversarial at least.

I admire your strength in dealing with difficult situations. I'm kind of a mouse sometimes... I get confused enough that I don't even know how to defend myself. Can't think fast enough to keep up. I'm so much smarter in the written word. It's crazy how that works.

Verbally I'm just not with it, at all.

Thanks for the tips and inspiration though. I will think on it.
