Well, I did it! Thanks to Adelle's gentle nudging, I made an
appointment with an attorney for tomorrow. The first one I called
didn't seem interested in helping me, and I was just going to pack it
in, but then a little inner voice told me to call this other one. He
was really nice. I told him my basic story, and I have an appointment
tomorrow. He said he'd see what he could do to help me.

So we shall see :-)

Thanks again, Adelle!

Hugsies,
Carole

Good to read and steps that need to be taken. Just keep in mind that
this is not a gift from your help. You will either pay for his service
or a part of anything he improves for you.

Actually, Harvey - that depends. If Carole is able to recover funds via
Worker's Compensation laws, it should cost her nothing. The state pays
the attorneys fees. It's a difficult case to prove. But that doesn't mean
it shouldn't be explored. It would have been a bit easier if Carole had
pursued this when she first got sick. But even I didn't catch it could be
a 'work related injury' until recently.

:-) Someone pays,,,, when you say the state,,, the federal,,,, its not
free,,, we pay you and I with our taxes but the important thing is
people that need help get it. Your advice is exactly what is needed to
help Carole get the help she needs. Some people are shocked by how much
they have to pay the lawyer for the help working the way through what it
takes in Compensation and Soc.Sec. cases for disability. You would not
be and I would not be because we have been there for ourselves or for
others. Its called support,,,, and you do it so well.

<blush> Thanks, Harvey!

But I can't take all the credit. Its just a good use of Usenet. I happen to
know someone from another NG who is a paralegal in Washington state. He used
the local legal listserv to get recommendations in Carole's area.

And even with all that, there is a statute of limitations and evidence issue
here. All this running about may not even get Carole what we hope for. So I
could be guilty of setting Carole up for a big disappointment - and that's
not very supportive. I'm just hoping there is something in the local laws
that will apply.
