## Narrative

Changing oil under a loader on the gravel when he put left knee down on a rock. He thought that the knee would get better. He had problems off and on and then went in and found out that it was prepatellar bursitis and had to have surgery. Had surgery on Feb. 9th. I'm not sure if this falls under occupational or not?
