Re: Accomodation & ADA

[Guest guest]

Ho,Ho,Ho Lottie, you crack me up!! Find me a man, young OR old??

Geesh!  My life is SO perfect the way it is, why would you want to mess it up by

" fixing "   me up?  Although, I admit, younger man sounds rather appealing, please

don't play cupid for me, or Santa will leave a huge lump of coal in your bra!

Greetings China,

Could you please explain what " accomodation " means and falling under ADA ?

The eye twitching is a real bummer, drives me crazy. Fortunately it doesn't

last forever, but I also have the silent migranes in my eyes, where I get thee

strange irregular shapes in the path of my vision. They are said not to be

serious, but who says it isn't bothersome?

When you find a single hem/onc, ask if he has a friend for our pal, Bobby.

She is available, and being a younger man is no problem, as long as he is not

looking for a nurse and a purse. LOL

Blessings of the season,

Lottie

Lottie and Bobby-  man I don't want to get in the middle of you two... " coal in

your bra " ...the things I've learned from this group. 

 

Lottie an " accomodation "   means  they would find me a job at my agency that I

could do with any health restrictions I might have- they would accomodate my

condition.  In my case I asked to come out of the field where I could not

control my environment- schools , group homes, foster children, police

departments, hospitals( I was a child abuse investigator for children who were

already in foster care).  My levels are always low red and white blood cells and

at one time my white cell count was 1.   So I was very lucky and was able to

apply for and get a desk job as a supervisor, but I did it without asking for an

accomodation.  But with layoffs looming anywere between 200-over 600, I'm

thinking I should ask for an official accomodation which should bring me under

Americans with Disabilities Act ( ADA) and maybe offer me sme protection to

avoid layoff.  My biggest issue is the insurance.  We will be taking a paycut

that's fine if I can keep my job

and insurance.  Even if Novartis gives me gleevec The monitoring is important

for liver damage, mutations etc.  I think I will  look for a new job anyway

because it is probably only a matter of time before I get the boot- next fiscal

year has a bigger deficit than this year!!!!  You can look up our situation

online Orange County Register -Social Services Agency.  All together I have been

here about 18 years.  I ahd two breaks in service when I returned to PA because

of family reasons( my father dying of alzheimers and my sister having meningitis

and my great neice in a major car accident.

 

Bobby- I'll be in Ohio next year for the Quarter Horse Congress- come on over

and you could get a cowboy( just teasing -no coal for me.)

 

 

Chi
