The wait
Finally the Workers Compensation Board got a hold of me to arrange a one hour examination by their orthopedic specialist.
Good gosh they must have more than one!
It's none of those, this trip to Etown and this exam are related to my fractured calcanus and the arthitis which seems to have set into the foot.
Two years after a traumatic injury claim the WCB looks at
lingering effects of the injury relative to your everyday life.
As I have said the fracture of my heel has resulted in arthritis forming which has led to constant discomfort that can ramp up to
severe pain making it impossible to walk without a massive limp.
Not to worry as the WCB is reputed to be fair in it's dealings with the injured worker so I can safely assume there will be some sort of compensation for a lifetime of walking goofy.
Really the limited mobility in the ankle and foot is not a huge deal it is really a question of the intense pain and bouts of aching that really affect my general disposition where walking with a bit of a limp just adds character.
That brings me to the question should I be hanging out in the Mac?
WAITING?

You might think this has to do with my wretched left thumb, yes it will be under the same sort of review in another year or so.
Could be for my back and shoulder which are in bad shape and related to a work injury.

To get to this point has been a bit of a cluster fuck in that my wonderful GP Dr Id failed to send the proper documents to WCB when they were requested.
The cause of the confusion is unclear but the result is crystal clear.....a 6 month delay in finishing the process. If it weren't for the delay I would have been paid out by now and onto phase 107 of my life.

WAITING?
Or go to where I want to be?
Be with the people I am truly close to.....
