hello im here because im on disability. igot hurt at work lifting a compressor for a freezer system. i do or should i say did HVAC and refrigeration on comercial systems. now im limited to lifting 10lbs.. i had a spinal fussion due to a fractured vetebre. it was a 7 hour surgery and was in beth israel hospital in boston for 6 days following the surgery. i coulnn,t walk afterward for like 2 weeks. it takes 12 months to recover. i'll never be able to do HVAC again its to physical.
i don't start physical therapy for another four months.
im doing walking at the pool at the YMCA because water takes away my gravity. i also am on an electrical stimulator the makes my back muscles expand and contract every 5 seconds. but i only get 60% of my pay and have a morgtage and 2 kids and a car payment. im late on every bill now and a month behind in the morgtage. im having anxiety attacks now and on medicine for that now plus they put me on anti-depressants.
i know theres people out there worse off than me so i still count my blessings.
i have 2 beautiful healthy children and a very supportive and best friend my wife. i don'know what i'd do w/ out them. they keep me going.
antway didnt mean to get all emotional on you guys but just wanted to say hello and peace to all
