I know you are meeting with the board about medical and I was the one that has incurred over $500 of outstanding medical expenses due to Be Well closed. Due to working at home in a non-ergonomic setting 40 hours a week I’m having lower back, hip, neck and shoulder pains. I was going 4-6 weeks as preventative care at Be Well now I’m being seen by a local chiropractor several times a month to ease the pain I’m feeling. It should be noted last week I did receive an email stating certain clinics I can now be seen for chiropractor services with no co-payment.
My manager has referred me to the LAM Office; however, I’m not seeking time off or do I have the space in my 1950’s rambler for office equipment.
I have my husband working at home now 100%, my son moved home last Spring from Mankato and decided to do online classes while living at home and I have a Senior in night school who has picked online school for the 20/21 school year. This house is crammed with our home now being an office, classroom and still be what it’s intended, a home.
