I work in Crystal Lake Illinois, and have been in good health all my life until recently. I have a collapsed valve in a major vein in my left leg that causes a great amount of blood not to circulate feeding oxygen and warmth to that leg after a couple hours of work the leg begins to numb and with the loss of feeling I continually lock up my knee and sprain my ankle while trying to do my job as a carpenter. For some reason , even though they verbally finally approved to cover the surgery its been over three weeks of hobbling around and missing out on a lot of overtime that I sorely need to work. This is also hurting my bosses business by me not being there. Why are our bosses paying all those extravigant insurance premiums when they don’t take care of you when you need it??? Pain, infections, lack of sleep, lack of income—-Thanks Blue Cross! Maybe I can get my company to switch! Miserable in Lindenhurst.
