Narrative

Erecting a section of rolling scaffold for abatement of a furnace hood and EE said they bumped their knee below the knee cap. EE said it was like they hit their funny bone and thought nothing of it. Next afternoon the knee began to swell up at work. EE finished the shift and went back to the hotel to ice it. Wednesday morning they notified me they were going to get it checked out.
