Well I just was on the recieving end of my first work related injury. For those who dont or didnt know by the name I am a Deputy Sheriff assigned to a patrol unit. I had someone that deceided they did not want to go to jail and fought me instead of going easy. End result , guy still went to jail with 3 extra charges including assault on a goverment official , two counts of resisting. During the process of effecting the arrest I suffered a sprained wrist and a minor contustion. This just occured thursday and in the passed it has taken weeks for similar stuff to heal. I am supposed to go back to work monday unless It is not healed and knowing how these things work its not going to be. Now my concerns are this , I just came back from a knee injury 6 weeks ago that was not a work related and I have the chance for a promotion to supervisor in the very near future. Im afraid that if I dont just suck it up and deal with it , it could very well cost me a promotion. On the flip side of that I go back to work someone else decides to be an ass or worse and It gets injured worse , or ......well we wont talk about the other options.......I know this seems like a no brainer , but promotions at a small department dont come very often ........:facepalm: its just one thing after another.......sorry I just had to rant and get that off my chest.....
