For those who are new to this site, you can read some of what I contend with regarding my disability insurance and attorney under the thread Continuous fear and stress... something like last June I think...

Well here's the very latest:

The opposition made an offer through my attorney, I haven't bothered to even acknowledge receipt: it was $100,000. That doesn't even cover what they spend on me for ONE YEAR!

Now there have been other stuff going on, they won't authorize a pain MD, consult is $350. But they "sent" me to a pain center for inpatient treatment (must be $10,000) of course I can't do it, and even if I could I don't know I would: they obviously pay them off to "send me back to work" which I can't do (honest) but then they would have their "experts" saying to...

Today I received a letter from my regular MD: they have quit paying her... and the MD has requested I pay the bill. (Well, of course both of these actions are illegal, but I won't hold it against the MD, I'm just not paying it, I'm not legally allowed to pay it.)

They recently DE authorized my eye care professional, then my attorney sent me a letter saying that I don't have an authorized doctor supporting my eye care needs! They have to have a judge's ok to DEauthorized someone, but they won't pay and I would have too and they already owe me over $15,000 I can't recoup until the hearing... which I've never had!

Nothing like kicking someone when they're down... pain flare should MUST end soon or I will end it.

I still can't believe the things they put you through. It is not right. GRRRR! Don't let them win.

{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{Sky}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}} My dear, dear friend. I don't have any answers, just my heart and my prayers... Oh! and my cushy shoulder.

Tks guys Sept... you have a cushy shoulder?

LOL Rap, DocJohn changed the settings for mark up while you were gone!

Tks Oz... can always count on you too

Here it is Sat. nite and I haven't done the paperwork to send to the attorney to let her know the latest... and I went out to an activity and used up what energy I had!

Actually, it wasn't so bad... I dragged out and went just because I am in a "high" position and I know the previous ppl who held this volunteer job never showed up at anything the field units did... so just by going I am appreciated... and they feel important... but at one of the events they had JOTA it's Jamboree on the Air, ham radio operators talk around the country and world... well I am one.. but haven't been on since Hurricane Andrew blew me away... 12 years... and then being disabled and not having anyone help... anyway...

the guy who was "running" that area... with the amateur radio had a real special station on the radio, but the other station couldn't understand or hear him. I picked up the microphone and gave the guy a shout and he came right back to me! Something about a female voice, they pick up easy! It turned out to be a guy in London at Gilwell Park (home of Lord Robert Baden Powell) what a hoot! I was the first female contact from there for this guy so we were both excited about the chat.

That gave me strength to drive on to the other event and "let those units see me" lol they also appreciated my efforts.

But I feel like ... well you know.... because I can't maintain that, and now am back to really bad physically because of the activity! I have guilt because instead of doing what needed to be done (for myself in fighting the system) I wasted my time and energy on volunteer stuff... and now am paying a price.
