I had told you a few years ago about a friend of mine that got his arm ripped off and his insides ripped out by a machine at work that his supervisor had shut on by accident while Troy was cleaning it out.

He has had a surgery every year to get rid of infection and to put the insides back in that keep bulging out. The last time they used some new material so we're hoping it does the trick. Troy is 40 and was told by his Dr. that he most likely won't see 50.

Well at hunting season last year his lawyer called him and told him not to go hunting because WC was filming him and taking pictures of him.

He went to court last Thursday and sat through an hour long film. He and Cris just sat there watching the film not saying anything. After it was over the Judge asked Troy what he had to say about the film? Troy looked at him and said" I wasn't aware the since I got my arm torn off that my son couldn't ride his four wheeler, I'll have to talk to him about that. The Judge just stood there redfaced.
They had filmed Troy's and Cris's 20 year old son riding his 4 wheeler.

What idiots! Cris has two arms, black hair and Troy has reddish blonde hair.

He got his settlement, lifetime insurance and monthly payment.

I just got such a kick out of that because of how WC treats people. I am amazed that WC stoops to the level that they do with anyone in the shape they end up in from injuries on a job.

They thought that Troy should be able to lift 50lbs repetitively with one hand. How many men can do it with two?

Troy does amaze me from the time this happened he has had such a possitive attitude and does what he can and it seems to be more then the norm for someone in his shape. I think that's why WC thought they could nail him.

He does have the RSD. He had told me long ago it was phantom pain and they hadn't told him the correct term was RSD so when I sent the info to him they were able to get his SS with it.

He gave me a good laugh which he seems to do all of the time.
