Well I haven't gotten my impairment rating yet as I haven't been released to go back to work yet. The only thing I know is I have.loss of some ranges of motion and can only stand or walk for around 3 to 4 hrs and I gotta get off of it due to the swelling around the plate and the fact it just hurts. I go to the doctor mon he might released me then but I don't know how I will go back because the.more strenuous the activity the quicker it swells.I have a job lined up but the pay is way less.it just sucks I can't do the things I used to do. My lawyer will send.me to.his.orthopedic doctor to get a fair impairment rating as my doctor is being wishy washy as im sure workers comp is pushing him to get me back.

getting a CDL may not be in your future...the ODOT physicals are hard on your body if you have any disabilty you may not pass...many a CDL driver is on here and injured and have lost their jobs because of this my husband is one of them
