Short story version but wish it was Fictional.
Got Carpal Tunnel while working in IT Industry, too much typing and mousing. Got surgery on both hands one at a time. No FIX. Got 2nd set of surgeries with a Hand Specialists. Pain not as intense but alas Permanent Damage. MMI Reached WOW I get a whole $1900 as compensation for Permanent Damage and Loss of my IT Career. Oh sure that's fair...right? yeah it is. sure.

Company now offers me Layoff 4 months Severance, 2 weeks vacation pay, use of career agency to find a job in "something",and the OPPORTUNITY to pay $1400 a Month for COBRA...maybe thats what the MMI Compensation was for. = :(

Has anyone Renegotiated a Severance Package?? I really need to know. Seems to me I should have gotten a little more something than a "tip" and a kick in the butt. No suing is Not an option for me.

Any HELP out there for a CTS NightMare Case?

What do I do now? Rehab commistion says, "You made to much money" so you can get Retraining for Career but "I pickup" the Tab.

So my logic meter says, I get hurt working for Employer, But I pay for my own Retraining... Yep that surely makes sense.

Thank you,
Just Plain Tired
