I’m just worried that if he says I can’t do it that I’ll lose the job. The PA assured me that wasn’t the case but I’m not sure. I won’t be happy until I’m actually in training. Then I’ll know I’ve got the job for sure. Stupid back problems. I’m getting injections tomorrow so at least I’m already seeing my spine dr. I don’t have to wait to give him the paperwork so I’ll be able to reschedule my function test at work sooner rather than later. And if he does say I shouldn’t lift at least I won’t hurt myself lifting. That would be bad.
I'm so sorry. I was also told I could probably get a job with those requirements too, but I would need to pass the physical with lifting 50 lb., push/pulling 100 lb., and I don't think I could do that. Not to mention, I think some of these meds I'm on might turn a drug test positive even if I'm not taking illegal drugs, so I'd have to disclose that I am on them.
