Thanks Kim and everyone else. I appreciate it.

What you've gone through is horrible. Your former manager probably was only concerned about her job. It is her responsibility to take care of all the employees under her supervision. She could've reported this early on. I'm sorry that you had to experience all this. I'm confident that you'll be awarded for what you truly deserve.

I'm not saying to "milk it". In fact, far from it.

I have a friend. He was in a car accident. A settlement was reached and he recevied monies for the accident.

Fast forward, one year later. He collapses for no apparent reason. After a series of tests, turns out...he suffered a spinal column injury at the base of his neck as a direct result of the accident.

This required surgery to fix the "problem". It ended up costing him thousands of dollars. And there was NOTHING he could do to get compensation from the insurance company (from the accident), because the case was settled.

Had he gotten more money to cover himself as a direct result of the injury,...he could've paid for the emergency surgery. And well....he didn't.

Just to let you know of what COULD happen. Not that you should milk it, but something for you to think about.

Kelly, good for you. Work thru your attorney. It sounds like the biggest expense medically is the plastic surgeries?? Which can be sooo expensive. Sounds like things are gonna work out better for you job-wise anyway. You're not letting it get you down. You go girl!
