Ee was installing a rear end in a rock truck. All this pushing and pulling hurt his back. He can't have an MRI done because of medical reasons, so he doesn't know exactly what is wrong in this low back. Physical therapy seems to be helping, but its really too early to say.
EE was helping the powder crew load a hole. As he was putting a wet bag in the hole, he felt something give in his groin. The diagnosis is hernia and he will have to have surgery to repair.
