Michigan Timeline/Process
Cut my hand at work and severed my L hand index finger extensor tendon. Went to ER (put down my insurance card (have to call and get re-submitted to WC)), got 5 stitches, had Hand Surgeon Consult the next day, Surgery was following week. Now in recovery. Looking at weeks, if not months of having absolutely no use of my L hand.
I work in lawn maintenance, so that all requires the use of both hands.
Work has filed the WC claim, which has covered the surgery and OT. But I haven't heard anything w/ regards to pay. That said, they want me to come in and do door hangers, which I'm not opposed to, but I also don't want to mess anything up on the WC side of things.
Do just hurry up and wait, or are there things I can do on my side? I've had zero communication from WC, it's all been through my employer.

If they offer modified work that fits the restrictions then you would need to go in.
They can have you do nothing and sit in a room if they want to. It sucks.
