Well, surgery is scheduled for June 13 on my elbow and then we will see about my wrist. Will be out of work at least 2 weeks...work has suggested disability and to stay out 3 or 4 weeks. Not sure if I can afford it. Worried it might be contested because it was a work injury. We shall see. sigh

They say age is all in your mind, right?

Five years ago I'd just begun my 40s.

Today, as that 5 years comes to a close, I'm 150.

(crossing my fingers someone is nodding their head, saying "Yep. I get that.")

Hey Ruthie, please keep us informed! I have the same problem with my elbow and just keep putting it off. Got too many things to do to take a few weeks off! Let me know if there is anything I can do, you are only about 3-4 hours away.

awwww Os.... aren't you sweet! I will let you know for sure.

Looks like work is going to give me a hard time. First they said it wouldn't be covered under workmans comp bc it was over a month since it happened. Dr. said I should get a letter from them stating that it was denied and why. After 2 weeks, today I insisted...NOW... after cortizone shots, drs visits and surgery is now scheduled... today they called workmans comp. Claim they said they weren't sure it was covered after a month (REALLY?? I'm 50 not stupid). So now the claim is in, and I have no idea what that means for my surgery. I will have to have another surgery on my wrist. This place has a history of cutting your hours and making things miserable for you if you don't play nice. I played nice and now this is what it is getting me! I need to get out of this job, but I can't before all this is resolved. Not sure what if anything i can do with this injury. I need to get if fixed, it happened here, but I can't afford it on my own. Insurance may not pay for it if workman's comp won't pay for it. Jeeze...

Deep, deep breath.........................................

I believe your insurance has to pay for it if your company deems it not work related.. although I know they like to screw you around forever.. I hate that!! I know companies that have paid claims with no issue at all.. how sad for those who have to deal with the crap you are dealing with.. Hugs...

Sending good vibes that it is covered and they dont treat you badly because of it...

Good evening

I am home early and going to play in the arcade...Hopefully since it is early, it won't keep up up late
