I'm doing ok back on the job

[Omaha Steve]

I did return to work yesterday. On light duty I'm doing things like parts runs. I also have physical therapy three times a week. I'm doing ok. It will be about two months before I'm on full duty status.

6. what was your injury... i might go back next week.. i lost my left hand, and they reattached the

piece of shit.. 6 months of therapy, 4 big time operations.. one was 6 hours of anesthesia, I'm 59 years old.. the hand is mess, paralyzed, painful useless, horribly disfigured...

and i got a case of flesh eating bacteria during the skin graft that tied my wrist to my stomach for 5 weeks.. that also froze up my shoulder, cant touch ny nose.. i just finished 5 months of therapy on it the last time they messed it up, the first Time.

my dr knows how pissed off i am putting the dead hand back on.. i could have been Back at mr UNION JOB.. with a USEFUL prosthetic. IN 2 MONTHS.. NOW I Have lost my insurance, AND CANT EVEN SCRATCH MY ASS WITH WHAT I HAVE NOW.. i cant even reach my ass my shoulder is so bad.

dr said she would re amputate it in 3 months if i still feel the same way... if it wasn't any better.. i had to quit therapy on it because i got carpal tunnel on my good hand doing the exercises

sorry for the :rant: , but those shit head dr's ruined health, and messed up my life.. get'n RICH ON MY SUFFERING.. I AM PISSED, i am also very Medicated.. and my hand feels like it is being electrocuted by 220 colts or more, it is like i have Turret's Syndrome, ..i jerk and yell or scream some obscenity from a crossed nerve..all the time.. it is the pits.. and i am really ange ry the therapists neglected my wound and gave me a steven King infection... i just got back from the hospital this afternoon with the 'more bad news'..

keep get'n better.. takes a long time sometime, i hurt my back in 87, took me 8 years before it was nearly normal

11. Sending some good vibes your way

I never had it as bad as you. I injured my right shoulder on the job on Dec. 17th.

12. i didnt mean to hijack your post.. just lost the end of my rope.. it was the Flesh eating Bacteria

that pushed me over the edge.. i dont know how much more of their crap i can take, physically or emotionally. in 6 months i have had 4 surgeries with 5 weeks in the hospital. i would easily sacrificed the hand to keep my Union job... Teamsters 391

will find out end of next week if they take me back, if they wont because i cant use it, i will have it removed, they have a guy there with a prosthetic.. i could do a lot more with one.. what a decision to have to make to get to be able to get a job..

glad to hear you are back to work.. .keep up with your therapy at home, longer than they tell you to.
