My back is aching badly
Three weeks ago, I was in a terrible car accident.
I was sitting at a traffic light, when another driver ran the red light and slammed right into my vehicle.
I had to go to the emergency room in the back of an ambulance. I had a huge contusion on my arm, leg, and head. My back has been aching badly since the accident. I already hired a lawyer and I started physical therapy yesterday. Unfortunately, my back isn’t starting to feel better yet. I’ve been experiencing a lot of difficulty at work. HVAC repair work is a physically demanding job. I am constantly moving around, reaching, walking, and stretching. I asked my boss if I could work in the warehouse for a few weeks, but he needs me out in the field. I’ve been taking Ibuprofen and Tylenol every 6 hours just so I can make it through the day. Yesterday was one of the worst days. I was scheduled to install a new mini-split AC unit in the morning. The customer wanted the mini-split AC unit installed near the ceiling. I was up on a ladder stretching 4 hours and hour. By the time I finished with the AC unit installation, I could barely walk. I had to call my boss and cancel the rest of my jobs for the day. I had to go home and relax. I even had to take a couple of narcotic pain pills. The Tylenol and ibuprofen wasn’t helping much at all after that difficult job. I’m really in bad shape and I hope the lawyer gets me a chunk of change for these injuries.
