A new day...

:coffee: Morning. Almost got a whole 5 hrs of sleep. Hopefully the PRN doc will help me Monday. I'm hoping HR can help me too as far as this insurance thing. I will hafta see where I'm at financially next year. Regardless of whether I have to re-enroll or not...maybe I can afford to add it then. I don't know. They just keep wanting more & more from us. Between the virus & the greed...one or the other is gonna get us all killed.

Oh yeah...forgot to inject a little humor into this:

I like big cookies & I can not lie.
 
Morning.
Still in quite a bit of pain today. I genuinely hope the doc will help me on Monday. If not I don't know what I'm gonna do. I can't return to work like this. I can't believe they would send someone back to work in this condition. Guess we'll see Monday morning. This has been a very upsetting experience.

It’s unthinkable for anyone to expect you to work in a commercial kitchen with broken ribs. I pray you see an MD with some common sense

I had a brain bleed on a Saturday and went back to work on a Monday. Thought my head would fall off, had to wear dark glasses, and I worked all day on a computer screen. Six weeks later when I saw the neurologist he said the ER doctor should have hospitalized me and I was fortunate to be alive. 😮

Some doctors are just stupid.

Me too. One mentioned an orthopedist but I don't know what they could do other than charge me more money for the same crap. If I lose my health ins. I'm not gonna be able to afford that. I will hafta look at the costs each month for the disability ins. There's 2 one for short term & one for long term. I'm sure I won't be able to afford both every 2 wks. They already deduct $300 out of my check every payday with everything taxes & ins. & whatnot.

I don't know that there's any docs in town here that are any better. I didn't get to pick. Here we have to apply for a doc through ComCare. The drs get to choose us not the other way around.

Maybe you can go back to work with the understanding that you cannot do any lifting. It says no heavy lifting and it takes 6 weeks to heal. But, since you are coughing so much, you might be continuing to cause the ribs a problem and delay healing. ☹️

I also read you can get a pain shot in that area to help, you might ask about that. So sorry you continue he to be in such pain.

It may say no lifting on the website but unless the doc puts me on restrictions it won't matter. And my employer knows I can't come back on restrictions & do my job. They don't want me to get hurt.

And I've had my allotment of steroids for the year so I don't think they'll do that either.
