Dear Threedonians Everywhere,
You may have noticed (or, um, not) that I haven’t been posting very much this month. Lots of agonizing pain going on, and not just because of my obamadread.
Here’s the thing: last year I injured my back in a workplace incident. It was one of those workplaces that barely-employed writers frequent in order to have things like insurance. And food. And a roof.
Anyway.
Ever since, I have been a worker’s comp captive, bound to my ex-employer’s insurance company, who has tried its best to make me go away, by delaying doctor appointment-approval and disability checks.
And in this manner, I have been pecked to death by ducks — or, more accurately, financially ruined while I await a settlement, which is still months off.
Rufus, Floyd & Chuck know about this, and have quite kindly allowed me to ask the readers here for any assistance they might offer. My temporary disability money stopped in August — it wasn’t much anyway — and all local assistance ran out months before that.
I’m facing imminent utility (gas, electricity, phone) turn-off, plus eviction, so my pride has suddenly become a non-factor.
As I told the boys, I want you to know, I’m not normally the kind of person who runs around expecting complete strangers to bail her out of everything (I’m a conservative, for goodness’ sake), but at this point, I’m fresh out of ideas.
So any helpful thoughts — write me at [email protected] – would be appreciated, much more than you’ll ever know.
Wankette
Since I’m independently wealthy (that’s a joke) — I will do what I can to help you. I’ll think of something, never fear.
I have an idea Wankette. Let me know what you think when you read the email.
Sent you an e-mail.
