With the publication of the status of the punitive damage suit on 28th,

 

Her case was '92;  She was in Houston, TX with another worker who was a man 28.  The day before he was to give his deposition, he was found dead (untimely death) blood, etc., in his motel room;  so she stood alone.  She said her infant son's case was 'dismissed with prejudice' and he can be in another lawsuit; she has multiple depositions and 'evidence' ... 8 large boxes worth ... anyone have room to store?  They are with her 'not trusted' attorney of Houston, TX who was more on Exxon's side than her side.  Her case was dismissed.  What chance did she have?  She says she is worn out; but did get an accurate diagnosis on several things and has doctors to work with.

She said she was found to have 'fragility' of the red blood cells.

 

Hers was the case with Dr. Tittebaum (sp?) of CO ... a guru toxicologist ...

Hi Margaret:

    You asked, "you don't sleep well"?  To answer your question more precisely:

1.  I have had chronic pain for thirteen years, sometimes it wakes me at night if I don't take meds, or enough meds.  The meds also have created problems.

2.  My cognitive functioning, to quantify it in numerical data, dropped from an IQ before the spill of approximately 135, to some parts of my IQ being in the eighties, according to neuropsychological exam.  In other words, I used to be a very bright person, and although I have recovered a lot of my brain, or have compensated for some of the damaged areas, I was at one time after the spill, functioning at slightly above an idiot range, BUT I DIDN'T KNOW IT, which created some problems.  It is akin to having something slipped into your drink and walking around stoned, but not knowing anything had happened...FOR SEVERAL YEARS, until the oil spill connection was made.

3.  I have had a Sarcoma type cancer, a very large tumor, extracted from the contact area of oil spill waste, as I often carried large bags of waste over my shoulder.

4.  WORSE--- My son, who was conceived shortly after my leaving the oil spill, has similar symptomology, including abnormal growth.  I looked at a report on one of the chemicals I used, and the study showed that mice that were toxed with the chemical produced offspring that were 25% larger than the control mice.  My son has consistently exceeded the childhood growth chart by over the 100 percentile mark, with an additional 20%.  He is now 13, and is 6 ft tall, over 200 lbs.  I love him more than life itself.  My "baby" was two weeks early, and weighed 9 lbs.  I am not diabetic, so this would not explain the large size.  although there is one distant all relative in his line, everybody else is small to average, his father being 5' 10".  I am so worried about my son; he also has learning problems, and was diagnosed as being so obviously ADHD that his diagnosis was made when he was three.

5.  I have not been employed since the oil spill; I can't imagine anyone who would want to hire me, as I am simply not reliable; I CAN'T BE SOMEWHERE CONSISTENTLY ON TIME.

    I'll await your call

Sincerely,

Woman1

 

She had sarcoma of the connective tissue - most often deadly as it is not found.

and underwent a 9 hour MOH's surgery to remove the biopsied skin that showed cancerous  (Like Robert Urich's cancer valdezlink.com/inipol/pages/cancer.htm?) Or other autoimmune issues

 

She was on 'ground zero' with Inipol.  (She may have had the French Inipol MSDS as she talks about mice being found to be 25% larger - a problem her son has had thru his life ... and she didn't know that there was a different Inipol with 22 chemicals added, as Richard has shared.)

She worked 3 weeks, mid July to first week of Aug with VECO.  She was an oil recovery technician (age 32 at the time)  She had long work days, never less than 12 hours; sometimes 16 hours for 3 weeks straight.  She cleaned oil with pom poms; cleaned oily booms;  Said that one time when out at sea they ran out of the diluted chemical and used it full strength. She remembers using a chemical that looked orange (Orangisol?)

 

She can name about 5 workers who met with 'untimely death'  Timothy Burt; a woman with lymphoma cancer

 

Said she had her uterus removed as it had doubled in size and had doubled over and was growing into itself; on the ultra sound it looked shadowed and looked like an unknown mass.  Her female organs became twisted and distorted and she had large cists in her ovaries.

 

She has very severe joint pain; has even gone to the emergency room with the severe pain in one leg from it.

 

She said EXXON owns the Anchorage Daily News ... bought it in 1990  (or possibly another paper in Anchorage?)
