So, Monday afternoon 2:11 pm. I put out my smoke and went into work, a bit feverish, coughing and shaky. But I started working. At a little after 4:15 pm, one co-worker came up to me and said
"I'm taking you to the lunchroom Dude, you do NOT look good"
I was sweating, breathing hard and staggering while deburring parts. Supervisor called 911, and soon I was in the hospital and asked to stay over night. Long story short, I had a "COPD Flare-Up" which meant I was not following instructions as prescribed..
I was released Tuesday at 6:15 and they paid for the taxi to my work. I then got there, spoke briefly with boss and then went home. The company has a "Go home and heal" policy for non-injury job matters.
In short, they have NO light duty and will never provide such. So, I spoke with my doctor (This Saturday, which I was VERY fortunate to get to see him so quickly) After discussing my "Occurrence" he said that if I ever went back there, he'd kick my butt. >:( >:( >:(
So, I'll be applying for UI, I don't know how successful I'd be getting SSDI so I'll be haunting the state for retraining to a desk job.
I take no shame in this, a bit of embarrassment, but I made my choice even with the evidence pointing that something like this might occur.
So, I now join the ranks of "Non-Smokers" and sit on the sidelines, breathing heavily after some exertion, knowing it didn't HAVE to be this way, but I DID make that choice.
Oh and check out that little pic of my inhaler...It's only $272.00 for each one I have to buy so I can breathe easier...(I also get the $26 buck one for my main use, this is a "Rescue" inhaler) So you can see, by me rolling my own smokes, I saved alot...Yeah, wow...Great... :'( :'(
