Good and not so good

Well I've got to take a deeeeeeeeeeeeep breath now. When I said the hearing was on December 6th I was right, it's that I hadn't noticed that it was in the year 2006! yikes.gif So I was given the best advice I could by my union representative, and that is that he would arrange that I be paid until August 2006 (no harassement from employer) if I agreed to RESIGN then. He was talking to me as if he was doing me a favor, said he was saving me thousands of dollars that I would have to reimburse my employer (taking into account they would win their side of the arbitration over me)! Well the NERVE of that guy! I quickly realized that he had done NOTHING to defend my case! But as circumstances would have it, he's on his way out because we have a new union effective January 2006 and so my file will change hands. That's where I am at right now. I am a little unstable, I have good days and some difficult times. But I ABSOLUTELY do not want to give in my resignation without some form of arrangement, compensation or relocation (I wish, I wish) I just hope I'm going to be sane enough to hold down a job when I get through with this. yikes.gif

I see my neurologist in January. Feeling alone and insecure at the moment.

Hi,

Hang in there!

It's like we are almost in the same boat,

but we haven't reached our destinations yet

I am not going to give up my years of seniority

and benefits unless there is no option.

It would be good if we had more stability,but stroke

has caused instability for us and it is difficult to live with instability

when we were so independent prior to stroking.

Does Quebec have a labour board similar to Ontario. I'm sure they do and it

may benefit you to contact them in regard to what is legal and what should be offered to you

My GP has mentioned lawyers to me many times and that is another option,but I would think a last resort.

Let me know how y are doing!

Take Care

Hi again

 

Hang in there as long as you can. You are not alone. There are all of your strokebuddies here at Strokenet. So don't ever think that you are alone.

 

We all want the very best for all of our stroke survivor friends.

 

Lorraine is located in Ottawa not very far from you. (I think you sais that you are in Montreal).

 

Pat Provost is also in Montreal.

 

I am also Canadian in Prince Edward Island and Gunther is in Winnipeg.

 

I know that Lorraine is going through something similar to what you are struggling with.

 

So reach out to us and let us know your good days and your bad days cus everyone needs a friend.

 

There is also email, private messaging and MSN Messenger to keep in touch with others here at Strokenet.

 

So never feel that you are alone.
