Believe it or not, I got a job.

shilala · 03-13-2009, 01:59 PM

Most of you know I broke my back at work last March.
In October I had surgery and got a bunch of screws and pins and rods and bone grafts.
Here it is, not 5 months from the surgery and I'm going back to work. I called my Doc a couple days ago to ask his permission and he called me yesterday with the go-ahead.
I turned down a job yesterday because it sucked, and got called today for a good one. It's at a powerhouse about an hour and a half south of here.
I'll be working five ten hour days, likely 6 tens starting next week.
I've talked to a bunch of the guys there and everyone is happy I'm coming back to work. They're certain to take care of me while I get my legs back, and they'll all look after me, too. They'll put me somewhere that's not so physical until I can't stand it, too. (I get bored REAL quick.)
I start Monday morning.
