I Am Scheduled For A "functional Capacity Evaluation" After Christmas.

Due to my continued decline, my PCP ordered this and today I found someone to take my insurance which is marginal. Has anyone had one and if so what can I expect? They said it would take 2 hours. Thanks for any input you have to share.

Also, I have a psychiatrist, psychologist, and a case working helping me. Please keep in mind that others here are working hard to cover all the basis and I'm have been a VA researcher. I have some ability despite my illness to dig in, listen to my doctors, my mental health workers, and my own voice.
