Narrative

EE was prying on a mantrip arm bracket with a slate bar. He had bent the bracket while trying to install a bushing that he made. He used a pry bar to straighten the bracket. The pry bar slipped and the sudden movement of the bar strained his shoulder. He sought medical care on 10/28. On 12/12 he began missing time for surgery on his shoulder to repair a rotator cuff tear.
