About me

Hi! Welcome to the post about me. Seems strange discussing myself,my own issues and injuries. As a former Nursing Assistant my body took years of physical abuse. The wear and tear left a permanent injury. According to the American with Disabilities Act, I am disabled. According to BWC I am MMI (Medical Maximum Improvement), I am as good as I will ever be and have improved as much as possible. I will never get better, only worse. My FCE with Comp disqualifies me from most jobs and my physician has the final say on where I can work. I did have a Customer Care job for a major cell phone carrier but I had to travel 44 miles one way. The travel became too much even though I was a good Rep.  Now I just follow Dr advice and my FCE.

My life is simple and at times lonely. In a way I'm Lucky for now my disability is not physically visible. I can walk but not miles anymore. I plan to remedy my walking this summer.  Bending is impossible. Turning in bed is a struggle. I can't squat, reach, crawl etc. It can be worse because there's a lot I can do still.

I had xrays during the summer and had no new fractures. I fell 2 weeks later. Typically my left leg is weaker. One of my initial injuries was repaired but the injections in my spine I agreed to at the time to continue working caused my vertebraes to break down.

I am fortunate my husband works to cover our expenses that allows me to stay home but he's gone alot.

My life isn't bad, it could be worse. I could be worse.
