Narrative

Employee was stepping off a mill to the catwalk and stepped on an airhose. He twisted his left knee. Pain persisted so an MRI was done in April, a minor tear was found. Employee has personal health issues so surgery was put off until 5/3/07 (just prior to the shifts long weekend). Employee was allowed to return to work with restrictions.
