Good news: Dan is released to go back to work, same Marine Base Camp same position! Yeah! ANSWERED PRAYER! Thanks to you prayer warriors!
Bad news: Dan's leaving for three/four months! Whaa!
Good news: Dan will more than likely be able to join us for Beulah Beach at the end of June! Yeah!
The doctor will be sending him with some medications in case the same issue comes up again. Dan now knows what to expect if it happens again and what to do. This is good! So for now Dan has been talking with KBR in Huston, TX to get things going. Now we just wait for the approval papers and then they will schedule his plane ticket. Whaa!

Still waiting
Workman's Comp is in process of reviewing Dan's case. Dan had a consultation with the doctor last week they proposed a recovery plan for Dan and presented it to Workman's comp to accept. So... back to waiting.
Dan is healing and by the time WC gets the paperwork figured out he will be ready to go back to work and no treatment will be necessary but some education on strengthening exercises. The whole thing has been crazy. The Doctor has looked at the MRI and thought that Dan's condition in his hand and arm may be resulting from carpal tunnel and not so much the neck injury. But at this point there is nothing we can do but wait for approval, may be by Friday?
Dan has been taking it easy and loving his grandson Spencer who is begining to walk. Dan has the camera with him at all times just waiting for the special moment to capture. Video to follow soon.

Dan's Home
Dan got home on Saturday, yeah. We have a bit of hoops and red tape to get through for Workman’s Comp. Dan will be seen by a doctor in Polaris tomorrow. Most of his injury will just take time and it has already been four weeks and he is feeling much better already. He will learn some strengthening exercises and receive some medical procedures to help speed things along as well as help with the pain in his shoulder and the numbness in his hand. None of his injury is permanent and that is very good news.
As soon as the doctor will release him back to work he will see if he still has a job. Being let go by KBR was very difficult to understand and to adjust to but Dan said it is a standard procedure for those who are injured. His supervisor was very upset about the entire process. Dan is well liked and is valued there so it is favorable that he will be returning.
