Did this second day of my hitch, been laid up the last 5 days unable to get my work boot on. I was using a 4ft cheater bar to get a little more leverage ( frowned upon, wasn't correct tool ) when the bar slipped sending me and the cheater bar sprawling. Didn't feel anything twist or pull, nothing. But about an hour later I get what felt like a charlie horse. Well this is what I look like now. I've been to the COMPANY DOCTOR and he says I've strained a tendon and pulled a muscle, but I'm not so sure, I'll be seeing my doctor when I get back home. I've taken worse falls hundreds of times without any problems, but knocking on the door of 54 years maybe its time I find a less physically demanding job. (n)
 

Just beware Workmans Comp will treat you like a criminal
Ooo I know, I've already been treated like a criminal. All that report every incident no matter how small flew right out the window. I could tell by all the higher ups body language that this wasn't setting well with them. I figure they're trying to cover their butts and screw me around at the same time.
 
I’ve a long litany of shoulda known better,

and, as I’m 62-years old, I can state — with confidence — that,

there’s no fool like an old fool.

I don’t make as much as I used to. Kinda came down to WORK . . or die off early.

WORK, that I can do. Being a company-driver door-slammer is bottom-feeder trucking. No extra skills such as tanker or flats or specialized. Generic.

Right company matters, not right job description.

Since I've had time to think, I need to do just that Slow, WORK I can do. I've gotten spoiled to the oilfield money and the time off, but this is a young mans job and I'm no longer a young man, a lot of these guys are younger than my daughter. last days off I just happened to meet the guy that actually built the house that I just bought,he handed me his business card before he left told me if I had any problems or questions to give him a call. I noticed he works for Oneok gas, a natural gas pipeline company there by the house. It's a Fortune 500 company, I might not make as much money but it would be a lot easier on me and I'd be home every night, something that I haven't been able to do for years.
