[QUOTE="dillweed, post: 466282, member: 5938"] Not calling in that second day was a mistake but the issue of not reporting the injury shouldn't be such a big deal. Many of us get a little pain here and there thinking it's just a muscle that will work itself out. It often takes time to realize how serious those little ouchies can be. As far as the write-ups. As long as they are not leading to a warning letter don't worry about it. If your record is otherwise clean it shouldn't be a problem. If the doctor puts you on any restrictions for going back to work, make sure you stick to them. Sometimes UPS sups try to get you to handle pkgs or work loads you're not supposed to. "Oh, come on - you can lift these few, can't youi?" "Nope, sorry they are beyond my restrictions". Hairy eyeballs don't hurt for long, not as long as your body will if you abuse it when injured. Do what doc says and keep up a good attitude while staying safe. Hope you heal up soon. [/QUOTE]
