Guest guest Posted June 28, 2006 Report Share Posted June 28, 2006 > > Thanks to everyone that answered my husbands previous question. This time I'm writing to ask for some of your input and how I should handle it. Well first off last night I had to take him to the ER because his wrist has been swollen since Friday and the last time I took him to the ER they prescribed him colchicine 0.6mg and prednisone 10mg and vicoden for pain, well they were not affecting him in anyway he was still in alot of pain. So last night they prescribed him naproxen 500mg and vicoden for pain. Well see how this works. Well anyway since he had to miss work yesterday (he's a driver) we went this morning to take them his doctors excuse saying that he can go back to work in 3 days well now they want him to go see there doctor and take a physical to see if he is capable of performing his job duties. Can they legally do this, knowing that he will not be able to pass a physical. As time goes by he is falling deeper into a depression not knowing how the bills are going > to get paid. I use to work but when my mother fell ill I quit my job to take care of her and now that she has passed I will go look for a job to try and help with the bills. I know he is hurting inside he tries to hide it but I can see it. I try to tell him not to worry, but I know that doesn't help. He does have a follow up appt to see a specialist July 11th, hopefully this time he will stick to his appt, all the other times his symptoms would go away and he wouldn't keep his appt. This time I think he's scared and he wants to see someone. I would appreciate any of your feedbacks and comments. Thank You!! Lucy > ((((Lucy)))) to you and your Husband. Boy I know How he is feeling I too had to quit my job and the bills just keep coming my husband would say it would be ok but I knew it was not until I got my SSDisbilaty which too 1/12 yrs to get.. as for his job, my brother- in-law took a phy/ and because of his high PB.he almost lost his job and he too drives a truck. they did give him sometime to get it down which he did. but I think If you are not well enought to do the job they can let you go, because of INS. reasons. My husband had hurtting wrist once they told him it was gout. Hope they find out what is up with your hubby. best of luck to both of you and keep us posted.
