DISABLED NOT COMPENSATED

Disabled not compensated means that the minute I am smashed in an accident I stop all productive activity. There has to be an alternative pay day when all of yours are terminated by injury. I WORKED AT THE CNR BUT I ALSO DID ART AND WRITING AND I PLAYED HARMONICA AND GUITAR. I NEEDED MY AFFLAC OUT OF WORK INSURANCE TO CONTINUE TO SUPPORT MUSIC AND ART. WITHOUT IT LIFE WAS EXTREMELY TAXING PHYSICALLY. IT WAS HARD TO DO A LOT OF WORK THAT WAS NOT ACCOMPLISHED SEATED. I NEEDED MY INSURANCE PAY

RAGDOLLED

WHAT IS "RAGDOLLED"? THAT IS A SITUATION WHERE ONE'S BODY HAS NO SUPPORT, NOR WILL IT STAY ERECT WHEN ONE IS SITTING OR STANDING WITHOUT ONE'S HOLDING ONE'S BODY UP BY WEDGING UNDER OR UP AGAINST THINGS, OR BY CLINGING TO WALLS OR FURNITURE AS AN EXOSKELETAL SUPPORT MECHANISM.

AFTER I WAS ACCIDENT INJURED I HAD TO LAY IN A RECLINING, SUPPORTED POSITION ON AN ARMCHAIR WITH MY FEET AND LEGS SUPPORTED ON A TABLE OR I HAD TO LAY FLAT ON MY BACK OR CURLED UP WITH SOMETHING BETWEEN MY LEGS TO ALLEVIATE THE WORST SYMPTOMS OF MY CONDITION.

THIS WENT ON UNINTERRUPTEDLY IN 1968, FROM 1970 TO 1974 AND FROM 1974 TO 1979 INTERMITTENTLY AND I HAVE NO MEMORY OF 1986 TO 1990 AND IN 1991.

I HAD PERIODS OF RECOVERY IN 1990 AND IN 1992. FROM 1993 TO 1996 I WAS VIRTUALLY PARALYZED ONCE AGAIN BUT I HAD SHORT PERIODS WHERE I COULD ACCOMPLISH TASKS, NOT THE UP TO FOUR HOURS I HAD GRATEFULLY EXPERIENCED DURING THE 1980'S, WHICH SPECIFIC YEARS, I DO NOT KNOW.
