Narrative

EE was hitting a pin on the push beam with a sledge hammer. When he swung the hammer, he strained his lower back. This resulted in a muscle strain, and is being treated with physical therapy. There was no disc damage and a full recovery is expected with a return to work by the end of Dec 2009.
