I built boats off/on for a lot of years,at least 10
different companys.I worked at good & bad ones.If you were
good, they would pay more. It was a competition trip. I
worked with some of the same people at different
company's,in Wa.St. I am going to take a trip to Spokane,
to look up a few of these people this weekend. I,m very
curious about their health,& a couple of them saw me drink
the TOLUENE that day. Sure, I had all kinds of exposures
through those years, but I never filed a claim with L&I
until a few weeks after the fact,& they rejected it.I
thought they were there to help,not screw me over, like
they did. They had no experience about exposures,or I
wouldn't be in the predicament I'm in.They could have
helped me out, but seeing that I had not hired an attorney,
they probably figured I was just stupid.I had major brain
damage,but I never knew that until I had MRI'S done in
2001.But the TOLUENE started destroying me within 2 wks.
after ingesting it.Conjuntivitis(eyes),central nervous
system damage,peripheral
neuropathies,tendonitus,bursitis,carpel tunnel,rotator cuff
syndrome,liver,bladder,
heart,hearing,glaucoma,parkinsons,asthma,depression,neurolod
gical disorders,polyneuropathies,nerve
disorders,bowel,bladder,kidneys,immune disorders,tingling&
numbness of hands,fingers,feet,toes,circularatory
problems,headaches,muscle(motor)problems,loosing
strength,pnuemonitis,inflamation of lungs,confusion,slurred
speach,unsteady balance,irregular heartbeat,& more. But
every time I went to a Dr., I'd get a new claim no. & a new
occupational injury,& allways denying exposures,which I
kept telling them it was. Even after a visit from ecology
dept., in 1988 &1990 & them seeing we had no protection
gear, no wash stations, no labels on chemicals & using a
storm drain in the blding which drained into the river for
our toxic chemical dumpsite, they got a $2,500 fine &
Ecology didn't go back there until 2003. I know they can
check at least every 2 years. Somebody should have kept an
eye on them. How did this happen,& why is that river the
6th most endangered in the world,& all those years
polluting the river, which goes into the Columbia river &
it,s waterways,which go into Idaho, Oregon,Pacific ocean, &
British Columbia.If they used that drain when they started
the company in 1980,they drained all kinds of toxic waste
for 23 years.Checkout a Columbia river map,
(www.spokaneoutdoors.com/collakmp.htm) What do you think? I
think its horrifying & it could have been prevented.Now,
there's no going back. That isn't all that man got away
with, either.He needs to step up & take resposibilities for
his actions, but he will deny any wrong doings,cause a
person like that couldn't have a consious!!! Just call me
Toxic mama...
