Just an up date,been going to phys.therapy & unlike most worker comp nightmare stories,i feellike i got a therapist who realy cares & understands.I started w/50% movement in my left shoulder,and i've already improved that considerably.My shoulder still has a constant ache,but it goes away w/a cpl hits of OGers kush(good meds)Every time i go into the P/T.he gives me some new torture device to take home w/me.
I've supprised the wife,she thought i'd never use the stuff & exersices he gives me,but i dot want to sit around hm.allbanged up,let alone any permanant damadge,needs to be limited.

PEACE;1TT

well the doc.thinks i'll be good to go in another wk.
I told th p/t what the doc said & that i believe that im doing good,but i'm starting to get some radial nerve,type pain,& that i'm thinking its gonna take a little longer than that.The p/t agrees w/me.
So,i'm making good progress.I think i'll be back at it in a cpl more wks.
The wife will prolly get clearance to go back next wk.

Hope all is getting better, Twisted
I had seen you mention workers comp deal there. I got a therapist and I thought he really cared too,lol he did... but I got screwed anyways kind of. After the whole ordeal was over he gave me a percentage of disability to my injury as they will you too.

Well the percentage was over what most employers would accept in a pre-employment medical physical in the trade I was currently working.

But the freaking state I lived in didn’t see it as enough to compensate or fund additional training. I got screwed and talked into a surgery I shouldn’t have probably had by these freaking "nice" quacks.

Both the physical therapy doc and the specialist surgeon was both nice as hell but I was left in the dust after that injury plus the company where it happened was bought out while on workers comp so no job to go back to. That’s the shortest version I could give, lol sorry...

I got some crappy high interest loans and went back to school and now I’m in debt for a “new”trade I learned in that school for a job that happened to get shipped over to India 4 years after the fact..lmao It tuned out all good though in the long run and now have me own biz, life is hell sometimes.

Thx for checking in TX,I've got some wierd nerve stuff going on in my shoulder,they were treating me fo a dammaged rotator cuff.The insurance carrier that the co.i work for has w/c coverage has assigned a case nurse to keep track of,and expedite my case.She pulled me out of the p/t &doc I was seeing,to get me an MRI,the old p/t & doc were baffeled by the synthoms I was describing.I'm a very LARGE guy so they're looking for an open MRI that'll fit my large ass.
I'm not looking forward to the end of this,cause these deals almost always end unsatisfactorly,as did yours.
Well folks thats where I'm at w/the treatment.It means alot that so many of the members here,care enough to check in on me.the wife is just about healed up,too,she just had some deep bruising.She may get fired over this.Many trucking co's fire driver on the spot after a bad crash,but the co.we drive for is out of WA.& aparently they can't evan do an inter co. accident investegation,untill she's off w/c.
She ,like most women,is pretty freaked out about maybe getting fired.Myself,I know there are plenty of jobs out there.
She's been wanting to try some other things anyway,but sometimes we just need a push,maybe this is it.

PEACE & LOVE;1TT
