Hi Everyone...
I just had knee surgery on Tuesday and get this call that I have to go back to work tomorrow. What is up with that?? I do not understand! I am really upset. I can sit so I guess it's best that I do go back to work. I did decide to not go back until Monday though. I am still woozy from the sedation they gave me plus the pain pills. I can just see me at work falling asleep for this. What a crock. Why do insurance companies think it's ok to return to work so soon?? I am not even suppose to drive or better yet take a shower or bath until Oct 3rd...I should be ripe by then. I did take a shower today though, I did wrap it in saran wrap and it didn't get wet. So that is a plus. Driving could be the trick. We shall see. I have to sit with the leg elevated for 3-4 weeks. This ought to be fun...NOT!!! This is crazy....Thanks for letting me vent...Darn insurance companies...who do they think they are?? How do they know what is right for every individual?? Ok, I will stop venting....Thanks for letting me vent...


Sound familar
Lynn,
You go ahead and vent all you want. I've read all your posts here and on the other board and I think under the circumstances you are more than entitled to. Sorry I don't have any advice how to deal with the insurance company other than to suggest appealling to your own company about some compensated time off. If you are in retail and on your feet, I can't imagine how you are going to be able to put in a full day. Do you not have sick time as a benefit?
I wish you luck!
Take Care!
