BBBB,
Yeah. So you think this will give you enough ammunition to to support permanent total disability or return to previous employment ?

Cycler, see it is very hard to explain the whole story, and draw a good picture of this to anyone, because it would take a very good lenght of typing it out. As I can only explain some of this in short statements here. Like I said before, I could speak for hours on this issue, just on my own case. It's not trying to explain permanent total disability or return to previous employment. But, if FCE #4 was so very correct, saying I could perform work duties at a Very Heavy level, then yes, I should of been able to return to my Previous Work then, this is fact as per such FCE then. Yet, I was told, by my treating Doctor, treating Surgeon, and even several IME doctor's, that I could not, can not return to my previous work. So, as you see, was such FCE a Medical evaluation, or was it an Ability evaluation?

But, what I'm getting at here, all this FCE information, is going to make a very big difference in my Settlement.

I see. So it seems that the weight of the objective evidence will support your not being able to return to your old job. I wonder if anyone was ever asked if anyone with your medical history was ever able to return to that kind of work ?

Cycler, I did return to work full duty, very heavy work, when I did have my first injury of a 3 level cervical fusion. I didn't have any problems till reinjuryed by a Prankster.

I know one should not pull pranks at work but in the real world it happens all the time. My knee was cracked on the job in 1987 due to a prank.

Was this prankster being mean or was he actually trying to pull a funny prank that injured you?

I know the guy that cracked my knee felt terrible. The problem was I had been "horse playing" with him and others for years. I never turned this guy in because we were friends.

The sad thing is even after this injury, The pranks continued and I was also a part of this.

Pranks can cause severe injuries like whats happened here to BB but the work place will always have individuals who work and play especially the younger age.
