I made it through February and march without a back or knee injury! Yeah!
I was cleaning my locker out at work and there were three years of evaluations that were in there so I took the liberty to open them up again and read. When I got to my sick leave usage I saw a red light come on in my head! Gee if I could figure this out the company could too.
Three years ago I ended up out of work in the first week of march with a back injury. Three weeks I was off! Two years ago it was in February and two weeks off for a knee injury. And last year on valentines it was my lower back and I was off two weeks again!
So I asked myself what the heck am I doing wrong!
Well I do pick up a lot of overtime during the first few months so I don't have to worry about it in the summer! Also I work more during Sept. and the Oct. and Dec. I am trying to keep my percentage of work at 85% otherwise my insurance premium would sky rocket and couldn't afford to have it!
So I thought to myself no more calling in for injuries unless I'm dead!
Well I woke up on Wednesday morning and as I got out of bed I stepped on my slipper( which really is more like a shoe) sideways with the arch of my left foot. Oh my did that hurt!
I then took a hot bath thinking that would help! Then I preceded to work and eight hours later foot did not want to be walked on ever again. I was limping around and then I realize my knee was starting to hurt and I called the doctor! The nurse says I should stay off it for a few days and ice pack it!
Well all I could think of was I am not missing anymore work because of a foot injury so I iced it all night and the went to work on Thursday!
I made it through work and it hurt and I limped all day and got home and iced it and kept it up for the rest of the night! I woke Friday and it is a lot better!
I am glad I went to work as this was my last day to be with the day shift as I now start my night shift on Monday and wont be working with them much anymore!( unless I pick up overtime)
I went to nights as I think it will be easier on me! Also I think it will give me more time at the lake during sunlight time! I will be tired at times but with my days off it will work out better!
Now watch it be a rainy season !
Also I hope I like it as I cant get my day shift back!
