Alan, I feel for you man. It's too bad company's don't treat their employees better. I'm now realizing how much I appreciate the benefits I get from FedEx. They are unbelievable. There's some issues here and there but that'll happen anywhere. But bang for my buck-wise.. it's great.

Thanks Non, and Formo.
A friend that LJ works with loaned us some money so we can pay rent this month. That was my main concern.
The lawyer thing sounds like the next thing to do. Thanks Non!
We had the doctor's office FAX everything to the insurance company the day after her appointment. So we KNOW they have the info. They are just screwing with us.
They have been CONSISTANT.

I haven't been hanging out on the internet much so I'm late respond.

I have ongoing back issues and can perhaps offer some insight.

First of all, the back is a very dynamic thing. There are many different kinds of problems so one solution does not fit all. You see football players having back surgery and playing again 5 weeks later; it's always not that simple.

If physical therapy is suggested, then do it. But go to PT with an intelligent approach. You do not get well in PT. PT teaches you how to exercise or manage your back on your own. Learn how to take care of yourself.

Experiment. I carry a little pillow with me everywhere for a brace when I'm sitting. It's a rolled up towel wrapped with rubber bands. It is fairly hard and rigid and it works. For others, soft may be better.

I slept on the floor for four years. I eventually got a piece of plywood and put it in the bed because it's a pain having your bedding spread out in the living room. I put some blankets on it so it has a little bit of cushion and to not be on raw wood. I actually find it to be very comfortable and helpful but it takes getting used to. It's not a solution for everyone.

You can also ask for advice in PT on the best way to position your body for sleeping.

At work I take a break in the morning and another in the afternoon to go outside and walk. I walk perhaps a quarter mile to half mile, takes about 10-15 minutes. It really helps. I also try to walk for an hour each day. Even when it's 10 below. Exercise, in my case, really helps a lot.

I find I can't sit on my computer and play until 1:00 AM every night. I need to go to bed, get my rest, and exercise. If I do that regularly, I am pretty much close to normal. If I ever need surgery, the doctor says it would be the "butchering" kind so I'm trying. It really is hard to take an hour each day to go walking.

So... learn the best course of action from the doctor. Physical therapy should be used for education, not a cure. Listen to your body and figure out what works best for taking care of it.

Hey Nonstop.....my wife took your advice and used the "LAWYER" scare tactic. IT may have worked. They told her they are getting on it, and they (supposedly) will be trying to get her some money by the end of the week.
They made 2 calls during the day, telling her they were having a meeting about it. Of course they COULD be lying to her. But at least we have our hopes that it will happen.
She says "thank you!"

Sorry to hear about LJ's problem Cheesey.
Being an insurance agent it has been my experience that company's are not afraid of attorneys. they get threatened and/or deal with them all day long every day.
Here is another option- complain to the WI Dept of Ins. That is someone they don't want to get on the bad side of.

complaint form 

Here's to a speedy recovery.

Well....FINALLY LJ got some money in her account today (direct deposit).
Couldn't have come at a better time. Rent is due in 5 days. I can breathe a little easier as far as that goes, for now.
THANKS again for all the ideas, and caring thoughts!
LJ sees the doc again tomorrow. Don't have a CLUE what will come of it.
