Hooray for your Orthopedists. I had two of them lie to the feds. One retracted but the other did not. I was forced to sell my house because my worker's comp was cut off. I get 475 from disability because of a glitch in the law concerning educators. Fortunately, I do get an annuity. I am struggling to go back to work. I want to do some things for my daughter. Her father and I were extremely wealthy, but he managed to get all the money away from my daughter and I. He died recently, and left her nothing. He had used all of her money in trust.
Not to boast, but I am a very talented and resourceful person. Yet if I lost more of my sight I would be in deep trouble, because I have no emotional support, except some from professionals.
As an educator, I love to help my students. I help very disadvantaged students. I must believe that there are some doctors who believe as I do: we never know anyone potential, until we do the best we can to help them reach it, and support them on their way.
My own mentor helped me tremendously in the last week. I am making lemonade. I always do. I have finished my doctorate in effect, suring my eye surgeries, and I have been told that, as I hoped, that it has potential to be published.
I am really sorry about your vision loss. Whether you take legal action is your decision regarding the best way to take care of your self, physically and spiritually, in a just manner, while doing no wrong to anyone.That's the way I look at it.
