I am not bitter... just worried.
My insurance company is sending a Rehabilitation Specialist to discuss my return to work on modified duties as recommended by the second opinion doctor the insurance company forced me to see.
Modified at the casino is not pleasant - management treats youlike you are in Kindergarden, with the mental capabilities of a 4 year old and they expect you to know exactly what your duties are without telling you anything... I have a mental illness... not a good combination.
I have been on modified before - but for physical ailments (broken foot, tendenitis in my hand, sprained shoulder and back) and I have been through this all before. I am a hard worker, I hate demeaning jobs (like sorting cards, or "directing traffic" (a fancy way of saying telling people which line to enter, or pointing them in the direction of the washroom). BUT according to the second opinion doctor I am not to be trusted with hundreds of thousands of dollars. I think that is bull as I have worked with that money "stoned" on migraine meds, with a blinding migraine and balanced to the penny! My concern is YELLING or CRYING in front of the customers and that is a real concern with my disorder, especially if someone gives me a hard time (or not).
This Rehab Specialist is coming on the 31st and is coming to my house... I don't like it!
Em said that I just need to be honest and to make sure that I explain how modified works at the casino... (she has been through the same thing - with the same person)...
A couple more days...
I don't like strangers in my house!
AND
A weird person I don't know just invaded my buddy list soliciting me to join an ADULT dating service... so I yelled at him/her! I have never had that happen before... Now I have to figure out how to stop that from happening EVER again!

You did not tell me you worked for a casino. Which group? Wow, it is so different how our countrys work. I think if you had bipolar here you would be fired just like that. I always wanted to move to Canada, maybe we should. I guess the only problem is that it takes an arm and a leg to get permenant residence or citizinship over there. However, you guys medical system is so much better.
