Cam I Am

I got some good news yesterday!

Now, I heard from a number of people at work that it would be a good 2-4 months before Pacific Blue Cross would give me any payment for my short-term disability benefits.  Naturally, I was worried about how to pay the bills and feed my family without any money coming in.  But, in the phone call from them, the person on the phone asked a few questions about why I was off, and then told me that I should see a payment by early next week to cover my first month off (minus the first 7 days that they won’t cover).  Beyond that, they’ll gather more info from my doctor.

So, I’ll get a much needed payment.  I’ll still need to dip into the RRSP’s that I have saved up, but at least I won’t have to take as much out..

As for my back, it’s getting better…. sort of..

I seem to be gaining better mobility, but I still can only go for 3-5 minutes of standing or walking before I’m in a lot of pain.  I’ve been going to physio twice a week, and it is helping, but I’m not feeling confident in the original 4-6 weeks I was told that I would be off.  Based on how I feel, I think that it will be another month off work.. 

We’ll see how it goes..
