I guess I should get a lawyer. I was naive to think I'd get better before I required legal help. It's also pricey.

I doubt any local lawyers would be good. I may have to find one in a bigger city. Our city is very agricultural and tiny (16,000 ppl) so the heaviest case these lawyers have seen would be a bad divorce.

I hope we can find a way to afford one. Yikes.

Thanks for the emotional support Mokey and BP, I was astonished as well. Still amazed that this kind of trivializing a patient's pain is considered helpful. It felt abusive to me.

About it: October 26, 2012 I fell backward on an icy parking lot at work. I was on Workers Comp for 9 months. My PCS : everyday headaches became once in a while headaches, and neck pain became manageable. Still have occasional mild dizziness, sometimes fullness in the ears, convergence insufficiency, sequencing struggles, short term memory struggles, verbal processing delays. CT neg, MRI neg. Therapies: prism glasses, acupuncture, icing neck, resting, supplementing, Elavil 20mg at bedtime.

NEW: Completed 12 weeks of physical therapy and returned to work full time.

About me: I'm a marketing manager, a mom with a blended family and wife to a heart attack survivor. I believe my brain injury taught me more than it cost me. I'm grateful to still be me!
