Brenda,

What memories that brings back. First, hold your head high as you "flip them off" as we say on this side of the pond. It doesn't have to be in person, oh by the way. eek

I had my job sort of folded up after someone called me and said come back quick they are trying to eliminate your job. I loaded my car with medical supplies and drove 400 miles back to work each Monday and back home on Friday for a few weeks until I could fly without the supplies. They were self-insured and paid some disability but one day decided to stop paying me and told me to sue them since they were filing bankruptcy. Even the company attorney laughed and told me to get in line behind him since lawyers would be paid before employees which were paid before unsecured creditors. I am still thinking somehow I will receive the $24,000 they owe me in back monies before it is all done.

You have enough to worry about right now and those a$$holes shouldn't be on the list until you run out of other issues related to treatment. Keep yourself positive...it will help time go by. In my case, they just made me more determined to hang around long enough to show them!

Best wishes,

Ed
