I'm a C.O. tech recovering from a torn rotator cuff(shoulder) that i recieved busting my hump during an office power failure. I've been way ahead of schedule recovery-wise, spent only a few weeks off, came to work in a sling on light duty. As soon as i was rid of said sling i asked to be placed back into weekend rover rotation, and ever since have been doing all that's required in the office. The company seemed to think i was okay since they have scheduled me solo in a large suburban c.o. many times.

Well, got a call from Workmans Comp yesterday warning me that 180 days have elapsed and that apparently i am now considered permanantly restricted, PENDING A DECISION BY MY MANAGEMENT as to my fitness to do this job. They apparently have to power to either rescind the restricted status if my doctor(whom i'm scheduled to see next week one last time) lifts the minimal restrictions left, or, they can leave my status permanent, and require that i search for another job in the company..within 40 days!

This is all news to me..and i'm freakin out. Has anybody been through this? Any Ideas out there? I'm no spring chicken in a job market full of them..besides, IT'S JUST NOT RIGHT.
