I know how you feel Chuck, I had back surgery A couple of years ago and went through the same thing. Day time TV doesn't help at all to pass the time either. Hope you heal up quick.

Hi Chuck
Have been on workers comp going on four years also on SSI
From a head injury I have seen so many Drs and to this day they really donít know whatís wrong [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/dunno.gif[/img] I was a fleet mechanic/supervisor and fell off a loading dock and my head hit a cement pole at first it was hard to stay home but at least with me my days fly by
I was told that because of my head injury I lose time and thatís the hard part for me
My days go by too fast I usually hang on this site when I am a lot off pain to take my mind off it Boy you cam learn a lot here. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/scholar.gif[/img] Any way good luck with your surgery

got my second MRI results today,i've royally messed it up since originally tearing the rotator cuff 2 years ago.i've got damage to the tendons and ligaments and possibly permanent damage done.the doctor told me the type of work is what's injuring my shoulder and i'm only 42.so i got a big decision to make on my career path since i've been at this company now for 8 years.
