Welcome to my site, I hope what you read here will help in your recovery. I was not lucky enough to have this kind of information available when I was injured due to employers carelessness, life will never be the same. This site is based on my thoughts and opinions and may not be viewed as politically correct all the time, I do NOT view the WCB’s as politically correct either.

For decades, Corporations like WCB also using the name WorkSafeBC and ICBC have been intentionally ruining peoples lives, why? To protect the almighty dollar and knock down the little guy? We let them do it to us without saying a word. Why is this site so important? Someday you or a loved one may be face to face with the WCB and their Illegal activities, knowledge is your best defence. I am fed up and am trying to make a difference. I actively run this blog while trying to survive the financial ruin and health decline bestowed upon me by WCB and Nexient Learning Inc.

When I injured my neck 5 years ago, I knew I was in for the long haul.  I would be in constant pain down various parts of my right side from shoulder to arm, wrist, lower back, hip and down into my right leg.  The problem with the leg thing was that I would get sharp shots of pain in my leg and depending on where I was, I could all of a sudden lose my balance and fall.

This has occured many times in the last 5 years and I guess the many times I sprained it during falls, it has become somewhat weaker.  A couple of weeks ago, it happened again and I was on the stairs at the time where I fell and tore something behind my knee.  Now after many tests, it looks like I might have to go in for surgery to repair the damage.  This will put me completely out of action for a few months and of course, that is all part of that big $70 a month pension I was so graciously awarded by WorkSafeBC.

Does anyone else have the residual affects of their injury that may never get better?  I just want everyone who is newly injured to make sure that they make everyone aware of things like what happened to me.  I never really made a big deal out of the fact that the shooting pains in my leg would cause me to fall.  It never occured to me that it was important.  Guess what? Every detail is important.

Here is the thing, I have pain 24 hours a day and sleeping is only possible when I pass out from exhaustion. I can’t walk safely anymore because my right leg gives out once in a while without warning. I use a Cane around the house but am embarrassed to go out in public with it. There are times when I lay awake at night in pain and just think that ending it all could be an option.

Don’t get me wrong, these are just thoughts that go through my head because I have so much awake time to think about these things. The difference between me and some other unfortunate people is that I could or would not ever go through with it. I have a grand daughter that I want to watch grow up and now a second grand child is on the way.

I do consider myself lucky that I have a wonderful wife that even though our lives have become very difficult she stands by me. I have 2 great kids, one is married and the youngest still lives at home and is a great help. I do wonder how my mind would work if I didn’t have the family around to give me something to exist for.

I know there are a lot of injured workers that have had their spouse leave and those that don’t have anyone there to give them support. This must be an unbearable situation for them and I would have to wonder if I could stop myself from doing something stupid if I had nothing to keep me going.

Have these thoughts ever crossed your mind because of the situation you are in with WCB or WorkSafeBC?

I have been to every possible treatment WorkSafeBC sent me to.  They had me in traction, physio, Columbia Rehab Torture Chamber etc.  Now that I gave up on the appeal to restore my mental health, I have decided to take on an approach of my own.  It seems that controlling the pain may not be simply about taking drugs to mask the pain like WCB doctors like to suggest, oh and then they want you to drive to work . . . seems like a b it of stupidity to me when all the pill bottles have warnings on them.

I have looked into alternative medicines and have already been to a Reflexologist, a Naturopath and am now considering acupuncture. So far I have had no luck.  We went and purchased gym equipment so I can work out but the repetitive motions aggravate the pain to extreme measures and it is just impossible to work through.

I  decided to try to find a way to motivate myself with projects around the house, I can’t get them done quickly but I do get them done.  I just started with a really small project in the yard, I chopped blackberry plants down.  The resulting pain is severe but somehow accomplishing something seems to motivate me more than simply walking aimlessly on a treadmill or cross trainer.

This  isn’t a cure for the pain but it is the only way I can try to gain back some mobility and possibly a bit of mental health.

This is not an easy task with the pain I am constantly in. I will look forward to sharing my ordeal with everyone early in January. I am currently working on some methods of helping injured workers earn money online while telling their stories to the world. I will be more frequently updating this blog in the New Year with information that will help others avoid the mistakes I made.

I will chat with you all soon.

I was in this situation and did something about it. I have studied with and learned from some very good friends who are masters of making money online. I am designing a special version of these processes that will fit injured workers like us.

Keep checking back as I unveil this unique and innovative approach to “Taking Back Your Dignity”. I will have a complete system built within a few months. I am limited in the time I can spend in the development of this system to make it easy for anyone to use. I suffer from Chronic Pain 24 hours a day so please bear with me as I prepare to show you how you can earn an honest living without spending money on product, without shipping product.

Is this too good to be true just like everything else is? A lot of people think it could be, but look at my circumstances, I have had my ability to make a living taken away, I know others have as well. I want us all to be able to live with dignity. I have the background to make this system work and I am determined to help other injured workers. I will want to know your story before I share the system with you. This system is for victims of WCB and ICBC manipulations only.
