I went to the emergency room and an ambulance, and the doctor told me that I have a soft tissue injury.
I’m in a lot of pain and it’s starting to affect my job performance. I was working in a residential area on Tuesday. My boss sent me to fix an air conditioner. I parked my work truck in the street by the house. I was practically in front of the customers driveway, but the neighbors started to complain. I had to move my work truck around the corner and walk back to the house. It took an extra hour to complete the job because I had to walk all of my tools from the truck to the house. I didn’t complain, because I didn’t want any trouble with the customer or the neighbor. I have a temper and arguments get away from me sometimes. I finished up the job and I headed back to the work truck. As I was backing away from the spot, I felt a swift, jarring nudge. I turned around quickly and I realized that a tow truck hit my work truck. The driver of the tow truck had his hands in the air like it was my fault. I opened the door quickly to get out and start yelling and that’s when I realized that my back was injured. I was in terrible pain and I could barely move. I went to the emergency room and an ambulance, and the doctor told me that I have a soft tissue injury. He told me to take some Tylenol and return to work after 2 days. Unfortunately, it’s been 5 days since the accident and I’m still in a great deal of pain. My back hurts like hell and it’s starting to affect my job performance. I know my boss can’t fire me since I was injured in the work truck, but he can give me the worst jobs on the schedule.
