[QUOTE="abbear, post: 79812, member: 61"] Yes. I am currently in rehab for an at work shoulder injury with a tentative return to work date of April 15th. I have been told that I will be expected to be 100% the first day (and I would expect nothing less from UPS) and am pounding it into my doc and pt person that I will need to be at that level. My first day at work will undoubtedly be a visit to the company doc and the second day a ride along from a sup. UPS may allow you to come back to light duty. I had light duty back in Sep for a month and have been told I won't get any coming back. It is really up to them. And you really don't want to go back until you are 100% for your own protection. I have a little bit of experience in this. My shoulder was damaged back in 2000 and I have been getting a cortisone injection twice a year until in Aug of 2005 the shot did not bring any relief. Each time I was put on light duty for ten days as the injection has a pain killer in it that would not let me feel if I was doing damage. Then it was time for surgery and now I visit the 'mistress of pain' (PT) once a week. It has not been easy - I have had problems with both the union disability insurance and the company playing with timecards. A call to Chuck Mack seems to have fixed the union one and a corporate complaint finally seems to have resolved the other. Good luck to you. abbear [/QUOTE]
