Discretionary Benefits Inquiry
[ Wednesday August 19th 2020 at 12:25 pm ]
I've reached out to an Ontario Works employee to inquire if the medication the local hospital emergency department doctor advised me to use for my partially torn achilles tendon is eligible for reimbursement under discretionary benefits. The partial tear has made my life untenable. I need to get the symptoms under control so I may have quality sleep in order to address my activities of daily living. I am finding it extremely difficult to sleep when my ankle is throbbing and burning. I haven't been able to find a way of positioning my leg that doesn't cause the throbbing. The broken sleep is winning. The broken sleep has been more debilitating than the pain caused by my other joints. I am really counting on the medication working.
