Do you ever feel like screaming?

I don’t know about you but this whole experience is bringing me through intense highs and intense lows.

This has nothing to do with my mental health but rather everything to do with the process of recovering from my severe (work related) motor vehicle accident.

My Employer Appealing the Claim

For months now, my claim has been going through an appeal process because my employer is arguing I was negligent. I wasn’t negligent. I wasn’t properly and appropriately trained for the task my supervisor assigned me to. If I had received adequate training and had adequate experience, I would have seen the danger my supervisor led me into. If anyone was negligent it would be my supervisor and my employer. My injuries are severe enough that this appeal should only go in one direction. It should be ruled in my favor.

We don’t always live in a just world. So we shall see!

Gradual Return to Work

It’s become clear to me that they are not interested in what is best for me so much as they are about money. I am afraid this will be anything but a gradual return to work.

I might be able to keep up the pace for a while, I just don’t know for how long.

Progress with Physio

I am in a lot of chronic pain. All of which related to the accident. My progress is slow. My case worker says I have to schedule in my physio outside of working hours. What does that mean in traffic control? We might work a 4 hour day but have to prepare for 12 hours because we never know when the job will be done. How can I make a physio appointment outside of working hours when my working hours are not clearly defined? This will no doubt cause a significant setback and possibly regression in my recovery.

This may even result in making a full recovery less likely to happen.

Thank You

With your financial help you can save me from getting evicted and becoming homeless. You can also help me in my recovery in supporting me in my efforts to advocate for my needs and gain access to everything that I qualify for. I get frustrated, I want to scream, and then a few donations come in from family and friends, even random strangers. This gives me strength and courage to keep going. As you know, these donations are helping with my rental situation as well as possibly gaining access to hiring a law firm. Their retainer fee is $500 and then it is $150/hr for the work they do.

Currently I am asking for small donations. If enough people donate just $20 or $40 or $50, whatever you can afford, these small donations help.

Thank you
