Last Ride of the year 12/30

I think the garage forum has a thread on posting pics.

By the way, is there an easy way to post pics and stuff like that here? I have not figured it out yet.

I like to just put them on a site like photo bucket and just copy and paste that link.. They look better that way.

Oooohh...I like the looks of that seat in that pic!

Wow...not good. I have no choice but to have the surgery. I have very limited use of my right arm.

well i hate to hear that but it will all work out.who is your doc if you dont mind me asking.

John Rodriguez-Feo in Fairhope. He refuses to have a 2nd MRI done to prove that my tear is worse. I hope this doesn't become an issue in trying to get WC to approve. My list of who's going to get sued over all of is is starting to grow....

i have been dealing with wc for 3 years now and let me tell you it has not been fun.i hope that it works out better for you then it has for me i had to go threw 4 docs before i even had anything done.i finnaly got dr todd at baldwin bone and joint and even after that i still did not have my first surgery for a year after i got to see him the first time.

*faints*
I've been off work since Dec 3rd...I'm starting to go nuts. I've never been off work this long. I can barely ride my bike, can't ride my horses and everything is soooo hard/painful. This royally bites. So far, the Dept of Labor has been more helpful than anyone else to this point.

well whatever i can help you with i will just ask.

Thanks man, I really appreciate that. I'm walking in the dark here. The paperwork, the waiting, the processes, the....B.S!!! I'm worried about how long I'll be out of work. I want my life back. Any of that sound familiar?

all to familir.but i will tell you i had to get an attourny straight out the door.now i just let her do the dirty work but that is still a pain in the rear cause i have to stay on top of her all the time.but the big picture is that it always works out different for everybody.i know people that had no problems and was in and out like nothing even happened.the biggest problem is that in the state of alabama you have no rites when it come to wc and basically they can do whatever they wanna do and thats the problem.i will tell you that if it is that much of a pain for you or starts getting to be that much of a pain get an attourny and save yourself from the hassell of doing it all on your own.if it was not for my mother and my attourny i dont know where i would be at this point but evenwith their help it has still been a pain.and another thing with it being wc stay off that bike or that could realy put you in a bad way with wc if they find out.

The bike has spent most all of its time in my yard parked. I thought i would've had surgery by now and this was my after gift to me. I've put a call into an atty already. I've been screwed over more by the local people (my supervisor and post master) than anyone else...so far.
I'm an atty's nightmare...I have a bike, I own horses, I jazzercise 5 days/wk (one arm only, thank you).

well my atty is naomi drake out of daphne she has done a good job so far and she is a wc atty.and atleast at this point you still have a job.i was laidoff over a year ago.

But I need an atty that will take on a Federal case. Many won't touch me for that very reason.

I had a case a few years ago. Took around 3 /2 yrs to settle. So patience is a virtue and a lawyer is necessary. I got one that didnt collect unless I did, and still I got less money than the waiting times wages.

I'm just hoping to get on the other side of this fixed and without losing everything I own. The frustration level is waaaay up there.

well if it gets as bad for you as it has for me then more than likely you want have much left after it is all said and done.i have sold most everything i own to survive.

Doesn't give me much hope. Maybe the union will help me protect my job... You'd think a federal employee would be treated better.
