[QUOTE="toonertoo, post: 286657, member: 1944"] After reading these posts it all comes back. But when I had an ankle injury the 4th one, I got them to give me a phone number for our medical advisor, or whatever, and I insisted I would be back where I was in a few months as I knew I couldnt break another ankle the 5th time. I went to water therapy, prescribed by their doctor and it was a Godsend. At first I thought "how silly" but I continued the regime, and knock on wood have not got reinjured in 10 yrs. The water takes the weight off the injury so it can get stronger, without it I would have been on comp constantly as I was after every injury. Now I realize your injury is not the same, but if you do not feel you can safely do your job, do what I did, and ask for an opinion with the head of your medical dept. As a senior employee you need to get stronger so you can enjoy your life at Ups and do your job, and your life after (yes I hear there is one). As for memorizing, I do not know how to recite them, but I use them every day. My big question Friday was "why cant we salt the parking lot" Every morning and evening I fight my way to and from my vehicle, on a solid sheet of ice. The only thing I can think of is we are off the clock then. The boss said, "I have called them 5 times" I said "I got an idea, call someone else" Its darn sad when you fight it all day but then when trying to go home you skate to your vehicle, and dam near slide under it when you pull on your door. And the customer counter door and area is clear. Duh. things that make you go HMMMMMMMMM. We have porters who could throw some ice melt out there. Someone could run through at nite while all the cars are gone.but nope, fight it!!!!! Then when you get hurt after or before work in the parking lot, you are on your own time. Silliness at its best and cheapest way to prevent an injury. [/QUOTE]
