I'm bored and have a busy day tomorrow.

Well, I don't know what to do anymore. I'm bored cause I can't do anything with Tony because of his back being hurt. Usually when he's home we get to at LEAST go outside and play with the dogs together, but not now. He barely moves all day cause he hurts so bad. Tomorrow is going to be bad on him cause we have to go to a few places trying to get help paying the electric bill and getting home necessities/gas. He's also got to call the company and the doctor. We've got to go by the rehab place to pick up paperwork, go to East Missouri Action Agency (for help), Salvation Army (possibly) and the Dept. of Social Services (help with food). I've got to put in 2 applications and call about another one. Tomorrow is going to be a very busy day. Painful, but necessary.

You'll get there !! It's just over whelming now .... Head up !!!

You'll get through, but as bubbatd said, there's a lot on your list and it looks huge.

Just one thing at a time, make a list and cross them off as you do them. I always find it feels good to see things getting crossed off. Must be psychological.

Thinking of you.

I already made a list. I have to or else I'd forget something...and knowing me, it would be an important something. It's just so.........annoying....that these things keep happening. God only knows how long workmans comp will take or how long it'll be before Tony is better.

One day at a time I guess.

Hope things go well for you.. sorry you have to go through this.. I hope he feels much better soon

Hang in there LB....I know it's really hard. I've had a little taste of that with Greg's recovery from surgery...of course...not to the extent of what you're dealing with. Hang in there!!! (((((((((((((((((HUGS)))))))))))))))

Here's an update:
We can't get help with the electric bill until they send a disconnect notice AND Tony falls under their guidelines for assistance. Since they want his payroll stubs for July, he probably won't qualify.

I have the salvation army sending information on where we can go for help. We have gotten a little further with getting his 401 K money due to their "hardship withdrawal" clause. We've got our portion of the paperwork filled out and now have to get ahold of the plan administrator at the company to get their part filled out and sent to the main office in NY. The only bad thing is that we had to get a "fake" eviction notice from our land lady. It was the only way they'd let him get the money out early with 20% going to taxes and IRS. Hopefully he'll get the money so we can pay electric, truck insurance and truck payment as well as catch up on the furniture payment.

Workman's Comp has been filed (yay!) but it could take a few weeks before he gets back pay and weekly benefits. I hope it doesn't take more than a week or two.

Tony still hurts and basically tries to relax as much as possible (reclining/laying down). The doctor was supposed to fax over a prescription for more therapy this week (which I think is a joke) but she hasn't done it yet. I called Pro Rehab to see if they had received it and they said nope, they'd call us when they get it. Tony called the doc at 10am and it's 4:30...apparently us little people that don't come to her office don't count for crap in her book. So we get to call the doc again tomorrow morning and have another day of therapy missed because of her slowness.

That's pretty much it. Something else happened but it deserves it's own thread IMO
