On 08/26/09, EE was repairing a dredge bucket when he slipped on a wet, oily surface and fell.  He caught himself while falling by grabbing a nearby steel cable, but sustained contusions to his left hip, a swollen right knee, and a tender right arm.  It was determined on 11/11/09 that he would need surgery to repair a tear of the distal biceps tendon on his right arm.
