AKA insurance companies, especially the ones that write workman's compensation policies.
TB got some bad news today and is very upset. I am too and am deliberately detaching myself so I don?t go into a frenzy of worry. The workman?s comp insurer had TB go to see a specialist ? I called him Dr. Roboto. He sent his findings to the insurance company. The doctor feels that TB is 15% permanently partially disabled and that further treatment isn?t going to help him. Therefore, the insurance company has decided they are not sending any more workman?s comp checks ? as of now. They said they would give TB $15,000 for his permanent partial disability, payable over 90 weeks. It comes to ? of his paycheck.
Isn?t that just a kick in the head?
TB called the attorney he?d engaged about 6 months ago. I am so glad he took my advice and hired this guy! Now this attorney can take over. Once the lawyer has seen the letter and the report from the arthrogram, he will get in touch with that insurance company. What will happen after that? I don?t know.
It?s scary.

This is International Pickle Week! What is your favorite kind of pickle? Have you ever been "in a pickle?"
My favorite is the dill pickle in the barrel in a deli. It?s different from dills in jar glasses. I just love the taste of them and could eat a barrel dill pickle as a meal!
I have been ?in a pickle? more than once. I?ve often wondered where that phrase originated and if it has anything to do with the pickle barrel?
