About Me
I always start these things by writing about being 55, having 3 great kids & and 8 beautiful grandkids, being married to my husband of 10 years, and having a multitude of pets! This time, however, I'm having a very hard time with that being WHO I really am! The problem is, I don't really know anymore...and that scares me. Perhaps that is why I'm here. I've been reading the different newsletters for several months now, and joined this community a few weeks ago, taking my time getting bits and pieces of my profile done slowly but surely! I did introduce myself on one of the forums (Micky1926), and lurked on several others before I joined, please excuse me for that. I guess I'm hoping to meet other people like me, who at this point in our lives, wonder who in the heck we are, and what are we doing here, anyway?
I guess a big part of the reason for this is that I have been on Workers Compensation since March 3rd, 2007, due to a fall on black ice on the parking lot where I was employed as an Assistant Teacher in a Preschool, working with 4 & 5 year olds, a job I truly loved...and don't know if I will be able to return to. When I fell, I went down on my hands & knees, injuring my neck, shoulder, lower back, hip and leg (all on the left side), and I am in almost constant pain. The doctor I initially saw, concentrated on my right wrist & elbow, even though I told him that was not a concern. It has taken months to get W.C. to even consider treatment for the truly injured areas of my body, and even though I am receiving weekly monetary benefits, I was forced to retain legal services for payment of medical treatment for my injuries. At this point I have trouble sitting, standing, or walking for longer than 10 or 15 minutes at a time, and I am on pain medication, during the day, plus a stronger one at night to help me sleep - which leaves me feeling dopey and off balance in the morning.
