Mumble, Jumble, Fumble & Grumble

Because of the constant dizziness and balance issues, when I was released for work I was given an unenclosed heights restriction. As the job I held BEFORE I started feeling like this was on the ground floor and had since been moved upstairs, I didn't want to chance falling and hurting myself or anyone else and felt this was a reasonable restriction.
When I brought my release papers into work, you would have thought I told my boss the sky was falling... he asked me multiple times why there was a restriction (because I LOOK fine, and now he has to actually do something), got completely flustered and wouldn't let me return saying I was a liability to the company.
Now, the ball has been passed into a few other courts and it's much like a combination of "keep away" and "dodgeball"....and they are dropping the ball with great frequency. For now, they've decided to redefine what the phrase "fully enclosed" means, and are trying to have a waist high open metal railing included in that definition (and they are taking their sweet ass time doing it, too).
So now, because I technically haven't returned to work (for any kind of pay), and disability has since run out, I'm not making ANY money and my insurance will be cancelled any minute. It was difficult enough to live off $95/week on disability, but $0/ week is even worse.

Cuz my headaches weren't already enough for me to deal with..ugh.
Sprinkle in car dysfunction that's costing me $110 plus tags (and I have 3 days left to get that done, or I won't be able to drive regardless of if they let me back at work).

Life is a dream and I'm in a nightmare.
