Good luck with the new neuro, askye!
Housing~ma, flea. That sounds pretty fraught.
I finally got some matza yesterday, after getting my glasses fixed (I think I forgot to report that I dropped my glasses while getting dressed yesterday morning and didn't realize until after I had stepped on them and broken an arm off - getting them fixed was surprisingly painless and speedy, though!). I don't know whether I just managed to miss the usual Passover displays (either because I did not walk through the right part of the store or because everything was already sold out) or there weren't any, but it was a challenge
Hmmm, on the coaching decisions, DH is considering two different schools. In each case, he feels another individual is a better fit. On one there was a candidate they didn't choose to interview, which was nuts, so he called the athletic director, as did another coach, and now he is being seen. At the other school, there is a woman JV coach applying, who was a huge local BB star herself and is really admired. He told the athletic director there that he thought she would be the best choice. So now he is hoping that both his favorite picks are selected then he can help them out, and help the kids, without the responsibility of being in the head position.
Well that was a fucking shit show from start to finish. I got berated NY the sr for being childish and expecting everyone to end over backwards because...I was upset and frustrated at how long it's taken Corvel to do things. And that I shouldn't expect a pill to solve everything. Which I never even said or hinted. At.
He kept talking about how totally incapacitated my life is and its not and I tried to say that. He went on thoss whole rant about if things are so bad I should just apply for disability .
And at another point i was saying how frustrating it's been working so little and he was like "well they are paying you aren't they? You get checks from them? With like ..vitriol in his voice.
I had to tell him 3 times I had been working.
I think he read the other patient's records and just kept thinking that was me.
I did get upset and had an anxiety attack but I couldn't say anything. I didn't feel like I could.
He was so hostile and I don't know what I did.
I put more on facebook that happened but it was just.. so fucking surreal. he was so hostile to me I felt like I should have called my lawyer and had her there or someone there.
If it wasn't a worker's comp issue I would have told him off for how unprofessional he was and walked out the door.
Oh no, askye! I'm so sorry. That is beyond awful.
A lot of people are really irrationally certain that everyone on or applying for worker's comp is trying to cheat the system, like no one could actually deserve to be taken care of for being injured it's all scams, and it really pisses me off. Just yesterday I was overhearing one of my coworkers advising her daughter who is being given the runaround on her worker's comp claim and wondering if she could benefit from your experience but I don't know that there's any benefit to be had, it's all just a horrible mess. I hope your lawyer can help you get somewhere better in all this.
Yeah I hope so, I dunno.
I keep saying that I just want to go back to work and that I'm trying ot have realistic expectations which the dr didn't even ask me what they were but I did manage to tell him although I don't think he paid attention.
Between my outrage over this, askye, and just common or garden variety sick and tired of working ness I am about ready to call it a day and get started on my 4 glasses of wine.
there are a lot of prick doctors out there...by which I don't mean, like, urology. Disability in particular seems to be full of bitter assholes.
I'm sorry.
Thanks, i'm just.. I felt like he barely spent time with me and he was making all these proclamations about my life (like not related to the work injury, just in general).
but whatever. This too shall pass and like 7 or 8 years ago this whole situation would have broken me for awhile.
