Support Yourself
Well, here's what happened. I was tranferring a participant from their bed to a wheelchair. When me and my friend, who was working with me, were transferring the participant, my back spasmed out and I knew I was hurt. When we got done, I was walding like a duck to wash my hands. I couldn't stand for more than a couple minutes before the pressure got too much and I was sore in my lower back. I called the number they had on the wall when this stuff happens and they basically said to stay at work and ice my lower back for thirty minutes then do that for 4 hours. I wanted to get it checked out and use the workman's comp card. I was told by my shift supervisor and a residential supervisor to follow what the phone number said. I disagreed and was told that I might be libel for the x-rays and medicine costs. I called a person higher up and they said I wouldn't be libel. When I told my supervisors this, I was told that I should have told them and followed what they wanted me to do. Whatever! Anyways, three hours, xrays, and alot of waiting later; I was able to eat something. Thanks to my friend who drove me to the doctors, the pharmacy, and his work where Jack picked me up at. Just rested and talked to my mom on the phone that night before going to sleep. She had knee surgery last week and is doing fine. She's got her own room and is doing therapy.
Been taking muscle relaxers since Wed. night but tonight a break from them. Depends what I want to do but I am feeling alittle better. Off to watch Netflix and relax. Hugz! Peace Out and Have a Fun Night!
