Comp Sucks!

Yes, Workmans Comp really sucks. these people act like the money comes right out of their personal bank accounts. Damn. I have worked hard most of my life.. I get hurt and this is what happens.. Comp took me back to court a few weeks ago after I saw the IME doc. let me tell ya.. I never in my life though a person could determine how disabled you were with just a 3 mintue conversation and grabbing your arm and throwing it up over your head.. The man hurts me. I scream and he tells comp I can go back to work any time and that I can lift up to 20 lbs, just no overhead lifting... Yeah right... I try to lift 20 lbs and I am gonna rip my arm out.. the fucking idiot.. So anyways. I go to court cause comp also knocked me down below what the judge ordered... Well it turns out the Judge raised the order and made sure I was still in VESID..

That was after I started to talk and left my Lawyer sitting with his mouth wide open.. I simple asked the Judge and the comp woman,
1. Do you think I like being in pain all the time?
2. Do you think I like explaining to a 5 and 6 year old they can't hug their Nana because they hurt her.
3. Do you think I like seeing the face of a 2 year old When her Nana can't pick her up?
4. How about the fact I have to wash my hair with one hand.
5. Or I need to ask for help to get dressed.
6. How about having someone else clean your house BECAUSE YOU CAN"T
7. you all think I like having to tell my family I can't do this or that because I am in to much pain ..
The judge seemed to see my side of it to some degree, But the comp woman there was left speechless. LOL

However they kept me as part temp disabled.. So Now I have to go look for work and deliver a work journel to comp by Dec. Fun WOW, But I am going to make it good, I refuse to lie.. so with every interview I go on, I am telling them I am on comp and telling them my limitations. LOL... Let comp figure out why no one is hireing me. LOL... But there are good sides to all this I think...

Today I have Pain & Torture, and then at 1:00 pm I go to the college and talk to them about what classes are best for me.. VESID will pay for up to 4 years depending on what I take and Where.. Also depending on if I can get a job with a 2 year degree or not.. So I will find out today. Still not sure what I want to be when I grow up. LOL.. I can tell ya I will be taking classes either in Human Services OR Mental Health Assisstant.. Either way when I am all done. I will be working with Children. But I won't be a teacher.. that I could not do.. I love Kids. But the ONLY kids I am spending 6 to 8 hours a day with will be my grandchildren. LOL...

OK thats my bitching for the week. I am sure I will be back soon to bitch some more, or maybe one of these days I will come and have all good news. LOL... Huggz to all & have a great weekend
