Guest guest Posted January 26, 2009 Report Share Posted January 26, 2009 Friends,Saw lung doc. Overnight saturation test due to see whether I will need O2. He stressed that my lungs are bad and will never get better. He is declaring me medically disabled and does not want me returning to bedside nursing. The VA must make reasonable accommodation for me in the workplace or I must take a medical retirement. If not now, I will eventually need oxygen 274/7. I am devastated. I knew this was coming; the reality of it stinks. Sarcoidosis stinks. I don't stink; God doesn't make junk.This hurts because I have worked as an aide or an RN since I was18. That's 32 years of bedside nursing. It's my first love, and knowing I cannot return to it makes me cry.Thanks for letting me share,jon50, sarcoid 1/9-- Two wrongs don't make a right,but two 's make an airplane.
