Reply #23: oh, Steve- that is too bad

I missed your story from yesterday. I hope that it goes well.

I'm in a similar boat, I fell - at home- in my uniform on December 27. I hit my shoulder really hard and finally got an MRI done. The results show that I have a bad tear in my rotor cuff. It sucks because I can not do my job right now, being a letter carrier. I was off for the first couple of weeks, but now the POst Office is letting me do light duty, something they don't have to do. I am not working any overtime though, when I used to work anywhere from 8-20 hours more weekly to supplement my income. I am just waiting for a referral to an orthopaedic surgeon now, to decide on surgery or physical therapy.

Okay, enough about me- I can just sympathize with you.

Please keep us posted and I hope that you heal fast!
