June 16th 2006
That was the day I fell off of a 15 foot high
machine while I was working at the landfill.
On the way down I landed face first on the corner of
a 77 camaro, right on the side of the bumper.
I suffered a fractured nose, deviated septum, and
a dislocated knee w torn cartalidge etc in it,
among some other scrapes and bruises. I ended up
finishing the last hour of the day of work,
bleeding profusely...I then drive myself home, get a shower and that was it...
The following monday I go to work to report
the accident and file a report and see about
getting medical treatment. They then try to say
they arent going to pay for my medical because
they say i JUMPED off of the machine. Yea right.
I finally see a doctor who proceeds to put
me on medical leave and wouldnt let me work.
NOW the company says they arent going to pay
for my time off even though I was injured on their
job. Oh yea?
I get a lawyer, and FINALLY after 8 months
of bsing around with them, we when our settlement.
Next step...A NEWER CAR!! Dont get me wrong, i really grew fond of my 90 cavalier now
but I need something newer and with less miles...hell I worked hard for this check dammit!
Suffered those above mentioned injuries for it lol
