Start training for another career; one that won't aggrevate your injury

If the doctors say you are permantly disabled and your injury occurred on the job, then you will receive a settlement. If the doctors say you are permantly partially disabled, then you will likely get a small settlement and be out looking for work, not the kind of work you did before. I would contact legal counsel before anything else happens, it's in your best interest and if money or other compensation is due, they will fight to get it for you. Yeah, they get a pretty good percentage of your settlement, but it's better than no settlement at all because you lacked the legal no how. Good luck.

Do you have a lawyer?
Your disability should offer you job placement in a position that will not go against your Doctor's orders.
If further education is necessary than they should offer that as well. Do not let them release you until these issues are settled. You are going to need to be able to earn a living, disability or not.
Good Luck
