Narrative

Left arm rest in loader was too low and unable to adjust to higher position. Controlling ""joy stick"" withour support to arm caused soreness in shoulder/arm/hand. EE took next day off as ""sick day"" so it was not reported as a LTA. On 9/16/2009 we received a letter from attending physician stating probale cause for work related injury. Sick day then acknowledged as LTA.
