Thank you, yes, the situation is toxic for a lot of reasons, and has been for a long time. It just seemed to escalate with this injury, as I feel there is a lot of resentment built up.

I told my atty not to send the letter I was going to, as I was worried about backlash, and can't deal with any more tension right now. My headaches are starting to come back, and at the end of the day I am thoroughly exhausted. I almost feel like I am backsliding instead of getting better.

I am going to call my neuropsych again and see if he will out the list of work considerations in writing - to me - so that I have a record of the environment he thinks will help my recovery best.

I am married, but it would be a very tight to live on my husband's income. We barely can get by on both. Even trickier, my husband has just learned he has cancer, so is retiring in May 2014. He will have a small pension, but we could never survive on that alone.

I am afraid if I lose this job, I don't have the brain power to get and learn another job, and it is a very tight job market still.

I have consulted with an employment lawyer that I know, just to get her take on the situation and how best to protect myself and handle what is going on in light of my injury. My attorney is OK (family friend) but he is not an employment lawyer.

On a happier note, I am going to a mild brain injury support group tomorrow and start rehab on Thursday. Brain MRI on Friday. I know that my health comes first, and I am trying hard to balance my health and hanging onto making a living.

I SO appreciate all the feedback. Makes me feel not so alone...
