Back in January/05 I slipped and fell at an Esso Gas station in Toronto (on a clear day) broke my wrist and 2 places in the elbow. I feel it daily especially when it is damp.
2005 was not a good year for me.... I also was in a MVA that summer and had a very serious compound fracture of the ankle with complications. I am left now needing a cane/walker for longer distances walking. Until that year I had never broken a bone or had a serious injury.

Actually my employer has been good, they have to be with the Human Rights code and the Duty to Accomodate people with disabilities. They even moved my office to a lower floor when they had an opportunity to assist me in cases of emergency and stairs. It also helps I work in a department that assists my union's members in cases where they need accomodation and the employers are dragging their heels. Most people don't realize what rights they have when situations like these arise.
The wrist injury I had no time off of work, they just adjusted my dutes, and the second one I was on the insurance from work, so it all worked out pretty well.

That is good to know that your employer has helped accomodate you. As for your statement of people not knowing their rights is an understatement. I am a strong and proud union member.Local 879 Teamsters. I have been to alot of conferences on how to use and exercise OUR rights. I won't go on and on as this is a Hot topic for me. Not a forum to start a debate.lol
On a good note you had two Victories this week, your settlement and I see the Leafs won a game.
Go Leafs Go

Sounds like you have one of the better employers, many will go out of their way to remove the position or use the old "no longer suitable" excuse. Good for them! Union or no Union it is a hard fight to get your job back when you have been let go and your employer has made sure that they have documented a paper trail.
BTW I think Waterlilly is picking on our Leafs.
