After mediation...

last week... I'm still reeling. These lawyers and insurance company (responsible to compensate me for the disabling injury) are part and parcel of my PTSD and anytime I have to have interactions with them, it disrupts my entire being....and this from less than 15 minutes in the same room with them. (remember fight or flight? I flew.)

My words aren't so wise lately. I apologize for not replying to your posting.

Take care of yourself. I would be glad for your responses whenever you feel up to it, but don't feel like you have to push yourself. It sounds like you need to take it easy for a little while, and there's nothing wrong with that.

Please stay safe and take care of your self...... I have missed you lately and you have been on my mind.

Go easy on yourself.

Sky , we know we'll hear from ya as soon as your up to it, and remember you may not feel wise right now but your a very sapient person in my eyes (all 16 of them)

Take care of yourself first. We miss you but we understand.

Thank you all (((hugs))) I'm doing okay today I have compiled the two papers (actually about 10 total) for my MD...now I will make a few handwritten notes and either take them by or fax them...

Other things have gone undone. Life, eh?

I hear ya hon! I hate this roller coaster you and I both are on with this stuff!

Well? The alternative to being on the roller coaster...is jumping off it? sigh.

I have typed a 4 page letter to the MD. Now I have to make my printer work. Maybe I'll take them by tomorrow, and maybe I'll ask my T's secretary to fax them over for me. IDK.

Tks.

I hope the mediation went well!

((((((((((( Sky )))))))))))

The mediation did NOT go long... after 10 minutes I stood and said, "This mediation is over." I left. The MD's deposition is tomorrow. I've done all I can about this for now. T says he noticed my stress level rise near the beginning of the month of September. Hopefully, the deposition will go well, and I can get back to trying to manage my life without lawyers! Tks all!

Good for you to get up and call it. I've been there and it was hell but I was too scared to do anything.Found out later the woman in the class action suit with me fired our lawyer. Hope everything turns out.

Thanks. Well, I do know the depo with the MD did go today...and my attorney's office called me to schedule something...but I have NO idea what they need ME for now! Unless... it's to tell me when the hearing is...

I have more important things to worry about.

best to you ))))))) ) )sky ((((((( ( (

I hope everything turns out well for you!

I can relate to your feelings about dealing with legal issues in your life relating to your disability. When I left work, I ended up realizing that I should file a workman's comp case against them for what I was going through. It when on for years & years & years. Everytime a deposition or hearing came near, I would end up OD'ing & get landed in the hospital. That happened every time. There were several times when I would just get out of the hospital the morning of the hearing. I just couldn't handle the legal stuff & them making me feel like like I had no right to feel the way I did.

The lawyer I started out with ended up having a heart attack & I ended up with one that was horrible & I don't think he could have won anything. He just wanted me to settle & get the money they were willing to offer me for not appealing the case. I ended up agreeing because I couldn't stand to continually end up in the hospital again & again. I just wanted everything to stop......thus the OD's & at times it was the only place where I felt safe was in the hospital.

I hope that your legal issues will soon be over with you in the winning seat. You deserve to win after all you are going through. Maybe once the legal stuff is over, you will be able to feel a little more in control of your life & start feeling better.

Hugz,
Debbie

Thanks eskie, I know you do understand. I can never really be past the legal issues, but having my T continually help me understand THEIR side of it (the legalites) and giving me good stuff for myself (therapy) I will continue to improve and maybe even thrive! (They won't settle for what I need to live on, so they are stuck with me till I die.) Yes, that's how they operate, unfortunately, irritate and agravate, delay and deny, until the patient/client gives in. I can't. But I am handling it better overall...

With that said, now let's see how I handle the NEXT hump.

grrrr why do I feel like "I can't believe this!" grrrr

In this interim, and my walking out and ending the mediation, with all my items on the table... it's time for a hearing. The scty said she'd schedule one, and within that week I receive a notice from the Capital that a pre trial hearing was scheduled for Oct 27th. (Attorneys only.)

So that day my attorney mailed to me a notice of MEDIATION for January 2007!!! AND then, she expects me to go in to her office for prep for that mediation, DECEMBER 27th!!!

I am upset. I called and left a message, but need to recall and tell them NO MORE MEDIATIONS I WANT MY HEARING ON THESE THINGS! I wish I had an attorney who would sue this attorney for whatever it's called, taking money and not advocating for the client! [b] GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
