Floundere please stay in the correct thread pro has enough problems with out you trying to out last him. pro i hear ya any body that has gone thru comp will know what a pain (no pun intended) in the butt it is. kind of like the Army hurry up and wait and wait. Hope you get feeling better soon
i really hate that i got hurt, i did not do anything out of the ordinary to get hurt.
i hate that it has basically retired me, from say about 5 to 8 more years of working.
i hate that the insurance company people are dicks, (or the C word) as the adjusters are gals, but...what more can i say about those gals..??
i hate that being on comp all these now 5 years, and 2 months, i have lost thousands of dollars in income, that can NEVER be made up, unless i hit the lottery, which also, will NEVER happen.
i am reminded of something "guardrail" said way back i think in page one or two of this thread, in posting number...17
anyone can go back to posting number 17, to verify this.......
here it is...
Don't take this the wrong way, but I know a lot of people with screwed up backs , and plenty of metal in them, that still drive truck. Even if you stopped driving truck, why is disability an option? It drives me crazy that disability is thought of as an alternative to retirement.
Guardrail
unless one knows the seriousness of one's injury, such verbal shyte was not needed, as now, we CAN ALL SEE, it has been 5 years, 2 months for me...
then he goes on to say, why is disability an option.??
well, once your back goes, it NEVER gets better...plus several months ago, my attorney TOLD ME to talk with my doctor about getting a "total disability letter" from the doctor, cuz with the amount of operations i have had, there is NO WAY IN HELL, i will EVER return to ANY TYPE of work, let alone trucking.
I HAVE NOT told my doctor i needed that letter, but yet his office gal, who will take care of that letter for me....."it's on the book"
I WILL BE ENTITLED TO disability, and (i hope) lifetime medical, and why not..??
i been working since i was 14 1/2....15 years old, and i get sidelined by a serious back injury....I EARNED anything I AM ENTITLED TO, regarding disability, that is afforded me by the LAW.
and everyone here HAD BETTER ACCEPT that fact.....as I KNOW I HAVE TO, and that BOTHERS ME TO NO END....
would i like being on disability, and maybe food stamps.??
HELL NO.....BUT, if i am ENTITLED TO IT, BY LAW, then god dammit, i'm gonna TAKE IT..... I WORKED ALL MY LIFE, and EARNED IT, over those that come into this country and get welfare, right off the effing boats..!!!!!
as it stands now, my DOT ran out back in 2015...my CDL has already been downgraded to an operator's license, if i EVER wanted it back, i'd have to go back to school and "do it all over again", at what...my age now..???
no way in hell will i go back to school......
then what, get another driving job and do more damage to my back..??
i dun't think so........
thanks for requesting no one hijack this thread...
have a great day...
i hope i can....my check did not arrive this past monday, the attorney called th insurance asswipe, she never gets back to him, OR HER ATTORNEY, and my bills DO NOT EFFING STOP COMING IN, when the checks DON'T......
