It's very sad how some scam artists pretend to have injured something to collect money...only to later be discovered on camera walking around doing hard labor around the house (just for example). People also cannot see a pinched nerve injury and take to take your at your word. I really empathize with people who suffer pain from injuries that are invisible. I think that we're raised to be skeptics and that doesn't help us much. Even one person being sympathetic to your situation makes the load we carry a bit lighter.

So much depends on what you need to do that day versus what others need you to do that day versus what, if anything you feel you can do. It colors everything. You see the world through the filter of the pain.<BR/>Unfortunately there are so many slackers and system workers out there that employers have difficult times telling who is for real and who isn't. That does not excuse the way people treat someone who needs special accomodation (and, for God's sake, a little sympathy and empathy), it just explains it a bit. Walking away from jerk bosses is the best thing you can do. When you're in constant pain you have to set priorities, and changing jerks is just more work than you can handle.Mitzy Moohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06591242061313045053noreply@blogger.com
