Hello All
Went back to my Ortho doctor today. He gave me another cortisone shot and I can go back to work on Tuesday for half days for the next 6 weeks, that when I go back to see him. I called me boss and told him and I got some not so go news. The position I held has been filled since I've been out so long and he does not know yet what I'll be doing but I will have a job and He does not know if I'll be able to keep my full time status. Need less to say I'm a bit undone I really liked what I did and I was very good at it and not know if I'll stay full time upsetting. I have been full time long enough that I get 5 week vacation a year and another 48 hours of holiday time. I you would please pray that I'll be able to stay full time and that I'll have a job good job. I'm sure God had a plan for me but I just cant see it right how. I feel as though In have failed, I know I have not but right how it how I feel. Thanks for reading all of this and for your prayers and support.

Will do Dan. God is in control and uses these situations to reveal sin on our lives so that we can be molded into a better representation of Jesus. So, trust that this is for your ultimate good.

But, somehow, this does not seem legal unless you were informed of this possibility earlier. I understand the business need to temporarily fill your spot to continue on but I think there are laws in place that prevent this situation. I may be wrong though. Those pen makers that support their passion by being a lawyer during the daytime may be able to shed more light on this.
 
Dan, my thoughts are with you! In reading and trading posts, I believe you would not be working for a poorly managed/unethical company - hopefully they will do good by you. Be patient and see what skakes out.

And, I suspect you are a survivor, and will be amenable to change/adaptation for the long term objective of retirement and financial security. Possibly a different role within the company will have a silver lining; but boy sometimes it is hard to see it.

Right now I'm being taught daily on a different dilemma that I have a LOT TO LEARN about being patient, and having trust in people. I want something resolved LAST WEEK, but I have no control of it, and have to back off and trust others... Not my preference!

Again, my prayers are with you!
 
Thank you Stan, Kelly and Mark for the prayers. Kelly I'm not sure if it legal or not and at this point I'm not sure I want to explore that area. Mark you maybe right. Maybe I'm not meant to be in that position anymore. It was changing and in some ways not for the better. My faith is a little shaken but I'll bounce back. I just have to remember to trust God and not depend on my own understanding. I'm out with Evelyn as she see her clients this afternoon or I would go out to the shop and turn a pen. I'm grateful to my IAP family that will pray for me and read my post when I need to vent a bit. I have been a member of other woodworking forums but none have been as close knit as they are on IAP. Thank you for that.

Well do from here. You are not a failure by any means. Sometimes life gets in the way of what we do. Get better and listen to the doctors. Hang in there your in good hands.
 
Hang in there! God is in control - we don't understand what He is doing many times and mostly only get to understand what He is doing in hindsight!
You obviously have been a great employee at your company and while they had to make changes to cover the work while you were gone I'm sure your past performance will go a long way in how this shakes out for you there - Keep the chin up!
 
Thinking of you Dan and hope that everything works out for you. The place that I worked told me that I could no longer do my job because of my back issues and then the medication that I was taking for my back caused my kidneys to totally shut down due to being full of stones. I was on long term disability (via insurance) for 8 years and then went on to pension. I too was worried as to how we were going to survive when all of this started but it all worked out.
 
We are thinking of you Dan
I had bone fusion Nov. 22nd, ( cadaver bone in the front, titanium rods and bolts in the back, L5 and S1) i had 3 months to come back to work or they would have filled my position. I made the doc release me 3 days prior.
Your in our prayers Dan, always try to find the good in things.

Dan I said a short prayer for you....I would like to remind you of what always sees me through the tough spots. The Lord Provides, put your faith in the Lord and He will take care of you.
 
God's in control

Dan be assured that God is in total control. My prayers go out to you and I ask for strength for you to understand his direction. You are not alone on this with your friends here on the IAP lifting you up in prayer.
 
Hey Dan, keep your head up bud it will work out. Not sure how but someone does, you just got to do your part........I hear a pretty big positive point about being able to be able to get clearance to work again right? Congrats on getting that clearance at least, the rest will work out in time.....in the meantime prayers sent
 
Prayers sent Dan.
Trust in the Lord - He will provide.
To paraphrase the Rolling Stones - we don't always get what we want, but we usually get what we need.
 
My thoughts and prayers are with you Dan.
Lots of good people here pulling for you.
I know I have benefited from others prayers when I needed them...I believe that you will also.

Dan,

I feel your pain bro, and will pray with you. Uncertainty is tough, but God will see you through. Keep trusting. He is the God of the impossible. I hope my story will encourage you. Visit: www.seangeorge.com.au

Dan, My Thoughts and Prayers are with you.
With the faith and support you have, I am confident, that God's plan for you will ultimately bring you the Happiness, Peace and Satisfaction you are seeking.
From my limited experience, it seems that God's planed journey for us, as well as having times of immense happiness, love and joy, there are also times of demanding, taxing and complexity. It exposes us to seemingly unsurmountable difficulties, potential disasters, and no sign post or knowledge as to how to overcome the situation, other than through him.
Maintain your faith, enjoy the love, comfort and support of your family and friends.
Sincerely,
Brian.
 
Hey Dan, Not to worry, the good Lord has a plan you may not understand it but when you look back you will. In the mean time do what you do best, stay focused and pat your self on the back for doing so well in life.
