How would you feel if you go to the doc that workman's comp sent you to and they ask you "And Why are you here seeing me". Well that is what happened our first WC visit was the one that should have been last, this doc was to do a evaluation to see if hubby was able to return to work and had got the maximum benefit from his medical treatments, but like he said there has not been any medical treatment, I explain to him that I thought that medical treatment was the reason we were in his office, he said no his was an evaulation.
So this is what he told us to do, Contact the Division of Workman's Comp and let them know there has been no medical treatment, he said they definitely need to know what is going on with hubby or maybe I should say what is not going on with him. They did do a fiunctioning test on him and lifting 20 pounds made his head hurt (1 or 2 pain scale) he lifted 25 pounds and his head pain went to a 3 or 4 and when they asked he would try 30 he told them no, said his head would hurt him for 3 or 4 days if he did not stop.
So where are we NO WHERE, but at least we had a wonderful weekend, his head was clear, he could think clearly, and there was NO PAIN. We now live for days like this.
Emailed attorney and told them what the doc said but one thing he said to me alone was, "YOU KEEP PUSHING DON'T LET THIS GO" I am, and I will keep pushing.
One more bit of good news, where he worked they fired the HR lady who did not get his paperwork filed and who has caused all of this grief and my hubby's worsening condition, if she had only did her job then maybe he could be back at work and doing his.
Thanks for being here!

Wow just had one thing to add to all of this, who knew that after one year this is where we would be, I guess some of the ladies here on this forum knew because you had dealt with hydro for so long but I am very thankful for the day I found this site because you guys have gotten me through alot of my struggles with him and dealing with all of his brain issues. God Bless each and everyone of you!
