Narrative

On the night of 12/09/2020 the crew and I were getting dayshift set up for their stacker move in the morning. At 0300 A.M I was swinging the dead blow to remove a power cable when I'm in the middle of my fourth swing I felt my middle back tense up and my knees buckled unable to fully stand back up. I proceeded to finish the shift.
