Ramblings of a winter weary woman...

So we are digging out from what I hope will be the last storm of the season. What's up with 6 inches of wet, slushy snow in mid-April? The boys loved it, to say the least. Good news-it'll be melted by the end of the weekend, so no shoveling for us. Ha, ha.

Well, we found a lawyer. Bill Olson in Madison. He came highly recommended by the Vocational Rehabilitation worker Jerod is working with. So last Tuesday, he drove into Madison and met with him. It went really well. Mr. Olson has handled thousands of worker's comp cases and knows his stuff. So now, we sit back and wait. He had some good insight into the reasoning behind the worker's comp industry and how they work their denial magic. One thing he mentioned was that Frankenmuth (worker's comp. company) ended up dropping Jerod like a bad habit because he is a high paid laborer. And they know that his chances of not being able to go back to his regular job is pretty high, so they didn't want to be liable of making up the difference in his wage for the next few years. Interesting, huh? Because worker's comp. is liable for up to 500 weeks after date of injury. That's like 9 years. So they send Jerod to a medical whore that is paid to state in an "official" letter that Jerod is fully healed. What a crock! I can feel my blood pressure jumping a few points as I write this since I get so frustrated at this stupid system of things. When will it all come to an end? We all hope very soon.

Cayden's two top teeth are growing in and boy do they look huge in his little mouth. He has changed so much since we moved here. I just measured both boys last night on the door frame. Both of them have grown about an inch since mid-January. Since we've moved here, they each have grown 7-8 inches. How crazy is that? That explains why I have so many clothes to get rid of in my garage sale. Hoping to get that all arranged by the beginning of May.

We are trying to sell our leather furniture set. So if anyone out there knows of someone who would like it, let us know. We are needing to get about $2000 for all four pieces.

Hope that this post once again finds everyone mostly healthy and happy! Take care...
