Guest guest Posted November 4, 2004 Report Share Posted November 4, 2004 Ok..how lame is this? I had my IME done back on October 6th I believe it was and they are just getting the report back this week??!?? Anyway, my case manager called me tonight and left me a message telling me that the Dr agreed that I did have RSD type 1 which she kept stressing this over and over again, so I looked it up..duh type 1 just says that no nerve injury is known, thats because they never ran an EMG on me. It doesnt change the diagnosis or anything like that but he feels that with aggressive PT and OT that I can be maintained...now, how about telling me something I am not aware of huh? Instead of denying me things how about doing what comes logical? Anyway, she wants to discuss with me on Monday about returning to work on a mod duty basis, kewl EXCEPT mod duty in my job is ridiculous and will cause alot of pissy attitudes since no one can " see " my injury and will assume that Im sucking things up! Mod duty means answering lights for elderly people who have little to no patience and will get up and do it themselves if not answered immediately, great so now we have incident reports against me. I absolutely refuse to take the blame for that at all! Also, I cant do restraints so I can never return to my floor which really bums me out as I miss my residents wah! I'm hoping that they take me off the floors entirely as it will never be something that I can improve on and eventually return to a normal routine. Oh well, this will be something to discuss...they need to live reality like I do. Anyway, thats the scoop peeps. Hugs Donna Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 4, 2004 Report Share Posted November 4, 2004 Donna, I know how much you love your job, but please keep in mind that a moderate duty job must mean the same exact salary and they cannot force you to do things that you should not be doing. My lawyer went over this with me the first time I met her, because she said that all companies like to ignore the moderate or light duty work list and then people get severly injured again!! Please be very careful if you go back to work!!! Also make sure you get a copy of what you can and cannot do! I just do not want to see you get hurt worse and I worry about you! Take Care and LOL!
