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...
