I fell off an extention ladder while nailing sheer panel. I had one leg caught on the ladder so when I hit the ground I pulled the ladder down onto my head. It knocked me out cold for a few seconds

I work in retail and there are times that you have to carry large items. I was taking care of this customer and he was returning a microwave, all the guys were busy with customers so one of the other ladies passed him on to me because i was one of the only chicks that could easily lift the heavier items. So of course the microwave the customer wanted was upstairs. And these arent regular stairs, these are the stairs that are old and rickdy and have been there since the store has opened in the late 70's so i grab the microwave and get really nervous going down the stairs and it didnt help that i happened to be wearin shoes that have like no grip... needless to say i almost fell down the rickdy stairs carryin that freakin microwave...

Did you report it? I ruptured a disc in my back in 91, It hurt, burned a little, but i thought it was just a pulled muscle. Within ten days i could barely walk, the disc had bulged so much it compressed the s1 nerve route, i lost my ankle drop, and had to have surgery. I lost the workers comp case, because by company rules, i did not report it within the specified amount of time. If you haven't reported it, you should do that. Also if you have a witness, ask them to go and confirm that you were injured on the job. This little episode cost me about seven thousand dollars above what my medical paid, and was out of work for a year, losing another thirty eight thousand, Not to mention the everyday bills that ultimately destroyed my savings. If i were you, and i'm not...lol...but i would be on the phone right now.

I tried to catch, with my left arm only, a 65 pound tray of mail as it fell off the roller system at my job. I saved the mail from going all over the place but ripped all the muscles in my neck and and upper arm and tore my rotator cuff. My arm only goes even with my shoulder now even after physical therapy. No more reaching over my head for anything!!
Oh and re-injured it a few years later when my new supervisor didn't believe me.... |
