Hi , I am so sorry for your situation. Unfortunately; I've been where

you are both healthwise and lawsuit wise.

Although I suffer from Fibromyalgia, arthritis in neck, shoulders, back,

depression, and most recently, debilitating asthma (just keeps getting better!)

my initial injury was caused by a car accident.

It took almost 4 years to settle and that was just an initial payment. The best

advice I can give to you, is be prepared to be patient, (hard to do when

you're a wife and Mom). Get a Bulldog attorney who specializes in cases like

yours.

You may want to apply for Disability which is a whole 'nother ballgame. Most of

all, keep the faith and don't give up. Be prepared to face setbacks and don't

give up.

Good luck and God Bless,

Robbie

Yes Robbie, I am seeing how this will be drawn out. It's really made me

understand the term " Pain and Suffering, Emotional Distress " .

My goodness I can't believe how cruel the defense attorney was at my deposition.

She asked if I was selling my medicine, and also if I was an addict. It was very

hurtful.

I've never been to rehab, and was on NO medicines before this. SO, I can see

what route they've decided to take: forget who's at fault, they only need to

convince 5 out of 6 jurors that I'm a money hungry junkie. .

I chose to have the trial in the county system because Circuit court handles

criminal as well, therefore the wait for a trial date was 3 years.

Now in County it's supposed to be 1 year. There's a cap on how much you can sue

for, but I couldn't bear to wait 3 years to even get this going. They haven't

done any other depositions besides mine, my husbands, and like 2 people who work

for them.

The whole thing has been a slam on my character. I hate it! I guess you're right

though, I'll have to expect to watch them drag it out as long as possible to get

me to drop it I think.

But see I'm uninsured. While I would LOVE to not deal with this, I have no

choice if I want treatment. They suck. I hope your trial/settlement is over.

I haven't done Mediation yet, but I know they won't settle. Their attorney sent

mine an offer within 2 weeks of them being served. On it there was a post-it

note that said " Tell her we'll give her $1k if she'll go away " .

Wow. . Just my MRI was 5k. My law firm has represented suits against this

hospital Corp before, which gives me a little more confidence.

Star,

I am not a Doctor, but can only tell of my experience after a surgery. I had

scar tissue that caused pain. In gall bladder surgery your bile duct empties

your bile in your stomach. Some complications of the bile duct scarring or flap

to bile duct not opening to empty might cause pressure.

I am not saying this is what is happening to you but you need to call your

Doctor and by checked out. They can do a ultrasound or CT and make sure your

bile duct is emptying, if scarring is present, or other things that may be

happening. Please get it checked, it is not worth letting it go and let us know

what is happening.

Welcome to our group and glad you are here and hope you find out what this is.
