Sam's Injury

Last Oct. Sam was at work, just a regular day of estimating and cleaning up mouse poo. He decided to take the shred out to the recycle can . Seems harmless enough, but what he didn't know was that the stairs had it in for him. From the first time he set foot on them, they were plotting against him. "How can we get that man?" Well today they decided to give way, and send him on a fall, where he would herniate disks in his back, and tear the rotator cuff in his left shoulder trying to save himself from falling. The stairs were able to knock him on his butt and knock him out for a time. But they didn't take into account that mighty Sam had a sidekick, his trusted cell phone. He came to, and called the office manager, she came and called 911, and the EMT's came to the rescue. After a long stay in the ER he was able to go home. But the pain and plot didn't end there. He had to go to alot of doctor appointments and physical therapy. After months of physical therapy and lots of drugs, the docs decided to do an epidural shot into his spine to help his back. He also had surgery on his shoulder, where they had to grind off bone. Now its back to more physical therapy. So make sure you are freindly to the stairs in your life, you never know what they are plotting or how much damage they really can do.
