Unemployment and Dr.'s

What a mess!! Went to the ER in Wausau for my back, of course the Dr. there told me to take off work and asked if i needed a note. Got the note talked to my boss, everything was cool, off for a week with only light duty. So let the paperwork and phone answering begin! Then my Dr. appt. with a surgeon at a private clinic (the ER Dr. set it up) and he says to continue with the pain management (injections into my back) and if they are not working in a few weeks we could talk about surgery. So few weeks a few injections go by and still hurting, and back to the surgeon I go. Lots of paper work, and then got to have a physical before surgery and they schedual that for two weeks later! WTF. said Dr. i am tired of taking pain pills and not sleeping. They brush me off with the fake sympathy Dr.'s are great at and tell me they will call with a surgery date after they get the forms they are gonna send me back. Shit. So now i have been off of work for over two months and I am waiting on an unemployment check. I get a letter from unemployment telling me i need to call because they have some questions and are holding my payments. So have been calling them for a week straight just to get through! Finally get through and they tell me the Dr.'s note says off work completely and nothing about light duty. So calling between my 3 Dr.'s is getting to be a loosing game of have the other Dr. do it and nobody is getting done!
And the waiting game continues...
