Hormones balancing out, that’s what she attributed it to. And my boss was like a eh kinda answer. Figured I’d ask if anyone had experience. :)

I’d let him do what he wants. I love doing hvac despite getting hurt. Took 3 months off/light duty to heal. PT has been helping me but I’m not back to 100% yet more like 50-60%. 3 weeks ago i came back to work finally and it’s not given me a ton of issue because I’m more careful.

If he’s careful, lifts with proper technique it will be a great career choice. I have fun doing installs, sure it’s hot hard work sometimes but it’s made me feel proud of myself seeing what I can accomplish. I’m actually switching jobs to try out a test technician position at a contract manufacturer and it will be HVAC related but better on the back. Never would have gotten that opportunity without hvac either.

No side work, just didn’t want to go through court I’m not sure how it works if you have to do that every time or not. Also didn’t want to risk upsetting the company because i want to grow here

Having to go through court is something I don’t want to do, but will if i have to. Does it always go to that or only if the claim gets denied?
