I’ve discussed it with the whole management staff. I appreciate your compliment. Also, just in case anybody that reads this mentions it. I did ask for FLMA, but with so many surgeries requiring me to miss work I do not have the time in. My doctor said as soon as I have them to get the papers to him, so that’s a plus. I guess my main hang is I was told they would handle the cost and have now said no because it wasn’t definitively caused by the job when others in the past have not been billed. Also, for anyone reading this I had slowly weaned off Xanax under my doctor’s supervision. That was the main reason to get medical help. My routines were not working and I knew I was going to need medicine. The 65 hours a week was when I was putting my wife trough school. I actually worked for 3 years with both shoulders torn because I couldn’t afford not to work with her in school. Another story about how draconian these people are. Long before the opioid crisis I had a precripition for Kieran because of my shoulders. When I take one it puts me to sleep. O e day at work my shoulders were hurting so bad I had to take one, but I didn’t want to run somebody over with a forklift so I told a supervisor that I had taken some medicine that would make me drowsy and that I needed to go. I was so sleepy by the time I got to my truck that instead of risking driving, I just slept in the bed of my truck for several hours in the parking lot. I was visible to a lot of coworkers. The manager denying my ambulance bill is the one that wrote me up for leaving early that day. I asked if I should have stayed and potentially hurt someone and he said oh no you did the right thing, but I’m gonna write you up anyway. Nobody likes the guy.
