Guest guest Posted June 15, 2004 Report Share Posted June 15, 2004 Re the employer's need to provide " reasonable " accommodate for disabilities, don't get you hopes up too high. No worries there about getting my hopes up...right now a simple job change would be the biggest help they could give me. They have been reasonable about time off, bills being paid and accomidating all the restrictions drs have laid on them but I dont anticiapte them doing alot more to accomodate me at this point. I'm not physically out of the game yet, though the days do wear on me alot quicker than they used to. Besides, they will probably tell me that they too " cant afford the software " and also like you they are within their limits of the law as far as how they accomodate me. I'm not going to comlain, they have been good this far. Hope everyone is having a great night! Donna Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 15, 2004 Report Share Posted June 15, 2004 I'm not physically out of the game yet, though the days do wear on me alot quicker than they used to. Donna, I lasted about 6 months before the pain became so bad that I just couldn't keep my left leg down long enough to get to work let alone at work. I have to keep my leg up, the higher the better to keep the pain and swelling down. You asked about pain in other areas, I am not sure as to where your RSD is?

Guest guest Posted June 21, 2004 Report Share Posted June 21, 2004 > hello donna welcome to the group. this is what i have akways said. keep > going. i used to crochet up a storm. loved it, but at this moment i > cannot do it. If I take something like tylenol or vicodan than I can sit longer and do more work on her blanket, I just havent felt painfree enough in the last couple weeks to enjoy doing it. The weather has been drier the last few days and that has begun to make a difference so maybe I'll pick it up later and take advantage of the low level of pain Im having today. >we do listen. Yes you guys certainly do Love Donna Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
