Thanks for all the nice encouragement guys. I really need it and appreciate it! I was able to get unemployment and have now gotten my 1st check. I thought they were going to fight it but thankfully they didn't. I've been on a couple of job interviews, but, they act funny when I tell them that I had been on workmans comp. My ortho MD is presently getting me set up to have an eval on my knee to see what the percentage of disability I have. I'm not quite sure what to expect and what they will do and what bearing this will have on my future job prospects. If any of you know about post ACL injuries and surgeries and disability percentages, I would appreciate any info.

HI from Roane CO, TN. I'm home health nurse that is lost right now. I was hurt on the job and had to have surgery. After my MD released me to go back to work, nothing was the same. Everyone was cold and standoffish. Before I knew it, they said they had done away with my position and I had been in it for 4 years, Had never been in any trouble at work, had always gotten along with everyone, had great rapport with all my patients. Then bam, no thankyou for all your years of service, kiss my big toe or nothing. Just, everything has changed and you no longer work for us. I asked if it was due to me being hurt on the job which was completely denied. But, it looks suspicious to me and it feels really bad. That was a few weeks ago and now I'm currently picking up the pieces and doing the job search, resume sending thing. If any one else has gone through a simular experience and has any good advice, I sure could use it right now!
