#workers’ comp back injury
Should I Accept Workers’ Comp Back Injury Settlement In 2023?
Workers in any industry as well as long-haul truckers and manual laborers can all experience back discomfort at work. However, It may be both physically and emotionally challenging to have a back injury in the workplace. Understanding the possibilities for compensation, including workers’ comp back injury settlements, is crucial when such injuries arise.  Back injuries at work are frequently brought on by falls and overexertion. Back injuries can occur at work due to repetition, weariness, working in uncomfortable postures, and blunt force trauma.
We are here to cover the many facets of workers’ compensation settlements for back injuries in 2023 to educate you on your legal rights for a workplace injury.
What is covered under workers’ compensation?
Your workers’ comp back injury treatment is entirely covered by workers’ compensation; you won’t need to satisfy a deductible or pay premiums, copayments, or coinsurance. As long as you are receiving workers’ compensation treatment, you will also continue to receive your employer’s standard health insurance coverage, which may include meeting a deductible, paying a premium, copays, and coinsurance.
Calculating Back Injury Settlements for Workers’ Compensation
It might be difficult to calculate the precise settlement amount for a back injury. Considerations are made for things including the severity of the damage, medical costs, missed pay, and potential future treatment requirements. The possible compensation may be calculated using a back injury settlement calculator workers’ comp and a formula for workers’ compensation settlement.
The Role of Workers’ Comp Doctors
Injured workers frequently receive medical attention from workers’ compensation doctors during the workers’ compensation procedure. These medical specialists are experts in handling work-related injuries, and they are essential in determining the severity of the back injury, delivering suitable care, and compiling the medical documents required for the settlement procedure.
Should I Accept a Back Injury Settlement from Workers’ Compensation?
You must confirm that the settlement sum is reasonable before you accept an offer and free the insurance provider and your employer from any further obligation. You can analyze the settlement offer with the assistance of a workers’ compensation attorney by taking into account all pertinent aspects, such as:
Is it anticipated that your back injury will get better or intensify over time?
How severe is your impairment or disability?
Is the settlement sum sufficient to make up all of your losses?
Do you consent to accept a lesser sum than your weekly benefits?

I fell up a step stool at work, trying to get workers comp is a thing and a half don't do it lol
ᵛᵛᵛ ᵐᵒʳᵉ ᶦⁿᶠᵒ ᵃᵇᵒᵘᵗ ˢᵗʳᵘᵍᵍˡᵉˢ ᵗᵐ ᵒᶠ ʷᵒʳᵏᵉʳˢ ᶜᵒᵐᵖ ᵛᵛᵛ
luckily it's just a bad strain, but im also kinda sad I didn't break my shit for milestones sake lol. It happened at 12:40am and I worked till 5:40am when my manager came in as well lul.
I figured it wasn't broken cuz I could wiggle my toes and could stand on it without being in immense pain, but when I got home my Mom saw and she's a nurse and she said there's a possibility something could be broken bc it swelled immediately - im uncertain if i heard a pop or crunch bc I had headphones in :).
But getting workers comp - I was told to go home, mother told me I need to get it seen/an xray, called back told I should've filled out an incident report, didn't get to do that till the next day, where there the managers just handed me a list of doctors that work with my work. I start calling places, one place it took 3 calls to figure out they don't take workers comp any more, another said they couldn't see me for two weeks, and then another place had to be the one to tell me 'oh - [your work] is supposed to set up the appointment for you' - *why* give me a list of doctors if they're going to choose anyway - more back and forth calls with my manager and like the head of the store - finally HR guy gets in contact with me - apparently your initial visit is covered regardless of where it's at - great perfect there's an urgent care right down the road from me, start heading there, HR guy calls and says the *urgent care* is also by appointment only, so I head to one that's 30 mins away -MIND YOU- im driving myself around, uncertain if my shits broken or not lol. But after that it was fairly smooth sailing, the walk-in clinic was very nice and the HR guy is very sweet and helpful - letsfuckinggo Greg.
The doctor was also concerned about it being broken which makes me feel better, and not just like My Mom being A Mom tm and concerned. The doctor/we were concerned about the high tiny bones. But yeah just a bad strain. It happened on 'Tuesday' (i work nightshift so tues 11 to wed 7am) and my schedule worked so that I was off wed and thurs,, that was my two days off 🙃🙃🙃.
My Manager (whos a Good guy) has "threatened" that he's got sit down work for me and evil laughing lol. There's been talk of physical therapy but idk. But that's whats happening with me lul

minor life update, major news
I know a few of you know and a lot of you don't, but I've been fighting with workers comp for an entire year now to get an MRI done on my neck and upper back due to an overuse injury I obtained from lifting so much.
I have permanent nerve damage in my back. It causes me a lot of pain to sit for long periods of time as the unique burning and electricity of nervous pain starts before the muscles lock up, often accompanied by the ring and pinky fingers of my left hand going numb. I have days where I am entirely bedridden.
I have had my MRI denied five times.
Today, 08/01/2024, I received a letter in the mail stating that they have overturned that denial and I am finally getting what I fought so hard for.
Tumblr media
It may or may not tell me what is actually going on in my neck and back, but I have put so much blood, sweat, and tears into this.
I finally won.

I need some help with necessities and doctor bills 😖
[ pls don't tag this post in a way that tumblr will nuke me for lol ]
Hey. I really hate to make this post where I feel like I'm writing a sob story but it's gotten to a point where people around are telling me I need to ask for help bc I'm struggling so much. Anyways, financially my family and I are not doing well... For context: I've been out of work for 2 months due to a workplace injury + workers comp will only pay for appointments regarding my right knee, where the place of injury took place. Therein lies the problem now, though... After getting my X-rays and MRI results my knee was fine, other than fluid in the spot of injury, yet I was still having leg numbness and symptoms for a bit (tmi but it's also become hard to tell when I need to go to the bathroom now too). My doctor told me my issue lies in my spine and the impact could've also affected that... I already have indications of osteoarthritis, bone spurs, as well as constant back pain I struggle with daily. My knee doesn't hurt like it was, but the bigger issue is my back now and worker's comp won't pay for that. I'm in physical therapy for my knee but not my back right now (paid for by wc). Currently, I am living with my mom after a nasty divorce where she had to pay out a shit ton of money (we've had to cut off my dad bc he's abusive and we are both mentally recovering from it. I deal w a lot of PTSD flashbacks and dissociative issues because of all this.) and she's struggling as well as I and we want to move when feasibly possible. I've been relying on her and my girlfriend if I need money for food and "mary wanna" to curb the pain I've been. My girlfriend also lives at home in an abusive situation that she's trying to move out of and is also struggling. I cannot keep relying on these people comfortably yet I'm in an extreme amount of pain where I cannot return to my cashier job where my shifts are usually 7-8 hours long. I'm going to try and open commissions soon after finishing more examples and compiling a good way to show off my different art styles. I plan on doing "Name Your Price" comms with a $5 minimum since my situation is starting to get dire. I'll add that onto the post and make another one soon but for now I'm gonna drop my accounts if you're comfortably able to help me out. My funds are gonna go towards necessities and any doctors appointments my mom's insurance won't cover. I still need to make an appointment for my spine and plan on it soon but financially I am afraid to. Thank you for reading if you've gotten this far! Hope you have a good rest of your day! ❤️

I need help...
sigh Hi all! So, um… I need help.
I made it to the end of August. I finished recording Starlight Telepath with the orchestra, and it was amazing! See:
Everything else is finalized except Into The Expanse, which will take me just a few more hours. Then all I need to do is upload it to streaming services and I'll be all set.
If only it were that easy…
I also need to make $400 more by tomorrow (a typical Uber day for me) for health insurance and taxes, $773 for whenever Musiversal gets the video files from the performance to me (probably Monday or Tuesday), and $1367 for my car insurance and car payment on September 8th. I have enough for rent right now, but I have much more work to do. And I'd totally be able to do it… But I've been driving 40+ hours a week for a year and a half, and I've been going really hard the past two months to make all this happen while struggling with sleep deprivation from acid reflux, caffeine withdrawal (I quit 1 month ago), an IBS-like issue of yet-unknown import, and a totally bonkers sleep schedule. If you can't tell from that clip, I'm tired...
I've been trying to get all of that under control, but I'm struggling. And now… It feels like I have severe carpal tunnel from driving so much, and lifting my arms to steer my car has become immensely difficult. They feel weak. I don't know what's wrong but this is most probably an occupational injury. Uber drivers don't get workers comp and that injury is amplified by my phone and computer use. I probably shouldn't drive for a long while. To be honest, I've been having trouble even writing this.
I feel like I can't ask for more of y'all, but if you want to see this happen, please consider donating to my Ko-Fi, buying the album, or sharing this. Musicians don't typically get paid through commissions for produced works, but buying my music is, in a way, doing just that. And if you need me to pay you back for anything, we can discuss that. I'm just at the end of my rope right now and this is my last option…
As a way of saying thank you to everyone who has pitched in… Here is The Promise, fully orchestrated. It's about a promise of friendship…to stand and fight together, regardless of what may come:

Thank you.

*grabs popcorn* why did you tag 'the writing did her so dirty' re: taylor kelly?
I finally found the words for this answer. For me, it has everything to do with the way she was written in 5A as if they were domesticating her, partially at the expense of what really made her an interesting character. I’d like to have seen her as that girl everyone loves to hate, but for the right reasons. “She’s a bitch.” Yes, and? “She hurt all these people.” Yes, and? Also… and this is just fan-canon, not something that I think the show would’ve (or could’ve) done, but pansexual Taylor in an established relationship with a woman is my absolute favorite 🫶.
Like… I hate to give buddie fans any points because most of them are committed to misrepresenting the point and a scene, but the whole “if Eddie were a girl, they’d have kissed already” held a bit of water during the Buck x Taylor era, but not because Buck and Eddie are queercoded, but because Buck x Taylor had the same vibe as “two people who met through work and only really have work in common, but dated anyway.” The two of them talked about their work lives more than any couple on the show. I feared that if either of them had a change of job, they’d cease to have anything to talk about, which *would* be the case for two people who are co-worker adjacent, but shouldn’t be the case for a couple. IMHO, Buck x Taylor wasn’t a result of Buck’s comp het, but societal comp het. They also—as I mentioned previously—seemed to stifle a bit of Taylor’s passionate, ambitious, career-above-everything characterization for a little bit there in 5A, and she kinda simply became Buck’s GF. There was a degree of domestication for her character there, and I hated that for her. 
Also… 911 honest opinion? I think Buck and Ali should have had a longer arc. 🫣 More on that below:
It really seemed like they had been narratively setting something up between Buck and Ali, given how the show paralleled Buck + Ali and Maddie + Chim with that one outro monologue about how sometimes the best things start with second chances. Because that monologue that introduced us to Buck x Ali had been all about “second chances,” I genuinely had assumed that she was coming back and that they’d work out their issues. Their relationship also felt narratively weighty because of *why* Buck chose to date her. He had a choice between old habits (re: Taylor Kelly) or making his happiness (re: the Buck Actually theme). They also chose an apartment together. Plus, their “break up” did not feel very final. Something about it felt unresolved.
Cast contracts permitting, if *I* had been on this project, I would have written Buck & Ali as tentatively working on their differences post-injury. When their relationship does end, I’d explore the concept that sometimes, genuinely liking one another—or love—is not enough (which I think would have been great to explore after the Daniel reveal, as love was not enough for a happy Buckley household). Ali & Buck may have progressed past health scares and job fears, but find themselves on two different paths in life (with her job and dreams taking her one way and his keeping him at the 118). Here we could also incorporate Buck’s Big Mistake™️ that we saw in his relationship with Taylor: keeping/hiding things from his partner and overcompensating for that out of guilt to keep the relationship. Maybe that something is family related (re: Daniel) or maybe job related (revisit old wounds that weren’t actually healed during the sniper arc, an emergency he expressly doesn’t tell Ali about for fear of her reaction). Hell, it could be Taylor-related (with Taylor, someone he has a previous dynamic with, “being Lucy” in this situation), if you really want, although I’m personally disinclined to taking this hypothetical story in that direction (mostly because I hate cheating arcs, but also because I think Buck and Taylor work better as friends).
I also think Buck could have still grown into the person he is now through this hypothetical of events instead of through shorter-term relationships.  Reasons I think this turn of events could have also worked for Buck’s growth:
We would still get Buck 3.0 seeking out therapy after being crushed, being dumped, and being assigned desk duty. Maddie points out that he’s not handling it well, and he takes it upon himself to do something about that, just like in canon. Maybe later in that season or early next, we find out that Ali had reached out, and Buck reaches back out to her following his conversation with Abby and some therapy, not wanting to leave things unsaid and knowing he hides his true feelings from people. Maybe he tells Ali about him wanting to work on himself and start again. This means that, yes, he’d spend season 3 single before getting back together in early season 4 to “try again” and “see where it goes.”
However, Buck will still be lonely at this time, now essentially having bought into the comp-het idea that part of the reason for our loneliness is not being partnered (just like in canon, but he’d be partnered instead of single during this). If work or a difference in life pulls Buck and Ali apart, we’d still get Buck dealing with this gaping loneliness. It’d be less of a “He hasn’t put himself out there since Abby” and more a “He’s in a relationship and still feels alone.” Maddie and Chim invite Josh to poker night not because of Buck’s “tragic singleness,” but because Ali couldn’t come (which means we still get everyone’s favorite Buck x Josh joke). The scene will lay the ground for the relationship issues he’ll run into in late 4B. Something like, “Buck never gets out of the house” or “He has a girlfriend, but no one would know,” while Josh tells him to be glad he’s got someone because it’s “rough out there” (all while still foreshadowing Josh’s later gay bashing that episode). And this hints at an element of compulsory heterosexuality to this scenario: Buck doesn’t just feel the need to make the relationship work because he wants to be there for people, but because he feels a need to be partnered. His parents are visiting and they’re always disappointed in him, but they’ve met Ali and they’re happy Buck’s partnered. So, he stays. He reads the love languages book (absolutely quackery of a theory, imho) for some ideas on relationship growth and making it work and he stays. He expresses that he really wants this relationship to be successful and meaningful (and that’s why he’s trying the self-help book), and he stays. But maybe we get the Buck equivalent of “my relationship feels like a performance.” Maybe Buck expresses some discomfort with what are essentially traditional aspects/dynamics of het relationships (something the 5 love languages is centered around). Things like, “I want to provide, but I also want to be taken care of.” We’ll also get a few scenes that suggest he and Ali don’t know each other well (like not knowing what to get each other for special occasions, and some conversations between Buck and Bobby). But, otherwise, Buck & Ali’s interactions with one another are sweet and romantic. He goes on a successful date with Ali instead of Monica. He also goes on a successful double-date with Monica x Albert, with Ali as his gf. Ali’s genuine affection for Buck really shines when Buck runs into his season 4 family issues, and she gets along with everyone in Buck’s life, including Maddie, Chim and Albert, and even his parents. Their personal lives will seem to go strong because it’s the way their work lives interfere with their personal lives that will drive the wedge between them. Red’s warning about being too consumed by the job and how hard this is to compete with swirl around in Buck’s head the whole relationship. Buck fears that much like Red, he’ll never be able to make it work.
Eventually, however, we would get Buck figuring out that he doesn’t have to stay with someone just to stay with someone. (“I’m not happy. And if this isn’t a healthy relationship, then maybe the best thing for me to do is be the one who leaves.”) So, in early 4B when issues he thought they’d worked through rise again and maybe Ali discovers that Buck’s keeping something from her (I’m leaning toward him purposefully keeping aspects of his job from her, like not telling her about the sniper [among other things], once more revealing how Buck puts other’s comfort above his personal life and happiness and again reinforcing the idea that Buck’s career is too “consuming” and too “dangerous” for some partners, but also revealing that he doesn’t trust Ali not to run again -> but this leads Ali to not trust that Buck won’t keep important things from her and also leads her to realize that he will ice her out of important parts of his life), Buck decides, “I do like you, but I don’t think this is going to work out.” He then spends all of season 5 single, and it would be cool to see a “I’m working on myself, I want to be single” storyline, which would factor well into his further self-improvement arc during the interim-Captain storyline. He will then still meet Natalia in season 6 and they’ll be drawn together and apart for many of the same reasons as in canon.
But crucially, this means that I’d have kept Buck and Taylor friends in seasons 4 & 5 because 1.) I think the men of 911 do not have enough women in their life platonically outside blood relations, 2.) I found their dynamic *before* they started dating much more compelling, and 3.) them making Taylor Buck’s GF seemed to stifle her character a little, so she was less the ambitious, passionate reporter and more just… a sweet girl. In my hypothetical, she’s still there in seasons 4-5, and ever the go-getting reporter. Maybe she has less screen time, but she’s still there. Many of the work-related scenes between her and Buck would and could (and should) remain. Anything related to investigations and her reporting would absolutely stay. I think that Taylor could neatly fit into a similar role that Josh does with Maddie. She’s blunt, no holds barred. He tells her about his family, roommate, and relationship issues in S4, and she always gives him the tough answer. She confides in him when the pandemic becomes too much. They team up for the hit-n-run investigation and the treasure hunt (Ali also joins them). She is his friend—and maybe one of the only ones outside the 118 family— who is there when his best friend, Eddie, gets shot (but clearly—and crucially—not in the same way Maddie is there for Chim or Karen is there for Hen because she’s *not* Buck’s GF or a potential LI, and also not in the same way that Ali is *not* there for Buck, given Buck goes to lengths to hide this development from Ali, like putting on his vest in secret). She is still hard on him for his “neediness” and “impulsivity.”
IMHO—not too much changes between them. There’d be fewer scenes between them, sure. They wouldn’t kiss. Some of their more emotional conversations would be less couple-y, like the coffee date where he talks about his family. (And I personally love the idea that this whole time they’re friends, Taylor is dating a woman and Buck has met this woman or heard about her, but that is, again, just fan-canon.) Also, we’d miss that scene of Taylor in her black lingerie (sorry lesbians) and Buck in that grey A-line Tee (sorry to me), but not much is otherwise changing. Hell, even the way things eventually break down doesn’t need to change (minus the issue with Buck asking Taylor to move in after he and Lucy kissed). Buck will still learn that he can’t fix everything because Taylor will still prioritize her career over her friendship. Plus, a friendship crashing and burning is its own beast, and one that would teach Buck that it’s not just in his romantic relationships that he gives too much of himself. (Cough, cough, a lesson he could learn with Eddie.)
Also, with this breakdown coming so soon after breaking things off with his gf, his best friend damn near dying, and his sister running away, Buck will go to lengths to try and fix the issues in his friendship, lengths like going to Oklahoma to support her (a trip where he meets her GF in my fan-canon). He wasn’t enough to inspire Abby to stay. He couldn’t make it work with Ali. Eddie fucking got shot. Maddie’s run away. And now a difference in world views has put him and a friend at odds with each other (something that *seems* fixable). So, he’ll try his damndest to fix things, desperately wanting this to work out as everything else goes haywire. “I can’t lose a friend, too.” “You were there for me after Eddie got shot, I want to be here for you now.” “Everything else is a mess; I want to help where I’m needed.” No more losing people. Except, it doesn’t work. Meaning, Buck would still come to understand himself and his localized view of himself relative to others vs. Taylor’s more universal view of herself as their friendship falls apart.
This also all still leaves Tommy to be different compared to Buck’s past romantic relationships, most of which happened on his partner’s terms rather than his own. It also still leaves Taylor in the series and her impact on Buck remains without half-nuking her character. Buck also maintains much of his character growth, as I will always maintain that Taylor was very important to Buck’s character growth.

Hey everybody, I hate that I have to make this post, but I’m desperate. I got injured at work last Thursday, and have not been able to go back since. I’m hoping that I’ll be cleared to return by next Tuesday, but that’ll be the absolute earliest I’ll be able to go back. Because my injury happened so late in the week, I wasn’t able to get my worker’s comp approved before the pay period closed. Because of that, the paycheck I received today is enough to cover my half of my rent which I will have to pay by Friday, but it will leave me with almost no money at all to get through the next two weeks. I have other bills to pay, along with needing to get my cat another case of wet food within the week, and eat myself.
I’m setting a goal for $550. That’ll help me get through the next two weeks comfortably.
Please, if you can reblog this or donate a little it would help me tremendously.

So went to the doctor yesterday to get checked out after a car accident and after some scans the doctor came back like "well the good news is you have some muscle spasms and we recommend you take two weeks off of work here's your workers comp form" and I was like "great so no major injury!" And they're like "well not from the crash but... we know you're still young but it does appear as though you have arthritis in your neck" and that was definitely not a diagnosis I was prepared to hear at 29.

I'm the anon with the ligament injury asking about possible worker's comp at Shitpotle's with an update: the ligament healed, but when I went to see an orthopedic surgeon, he said my knee was still very unstable due to the muscles around the kneecap being weak. He wants me to do physical therapy ASAP. My question now, since I can't file for worker's comp, is this: Can my manager legally interfere with my receiving medical care? I had an appointment in a week from now (8/15), but it landed on a day that I worked, so I texted my manager asking if I could leave two hours before my shift was over, since my appointment was directly at 3 pm. (For context, I work 10-4, and I'm usually trapped there until near 4:30 due to being a cashier). However my manager made a big deal about it, scolding me for not giving her three weeks' notice -- the appointment was made directly after I saw the surgeon, not even I had three weeks' notice -- and then she demanded to know why I couldn't make an appointment on one of the only two days I have off every week.
Now my appointment has been pushed back until the end of the month, and my knee still hurts. If I keep things documented, would I have a case if my manager keeps interfering? I know this might be an inconvenience, but I am literally the wrong step away from being disabled, and I'm doing everything I can to prevent this.
I am a good employee. I show up when scheduled, I rarely ever call off unless I'm so sick I can't move, and I do my job well. I feel like I'm being thrown under the bus. Should I just stop being transparent with my managers? They let people pull no call, no shows all the time, but when I actually need time off due to medical issues, I get snapped at, and I just don't understand why. I thought I was doing everything right.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I'm keeping everything documented so far.

also the protag of Kaiju no. 8's name is Kafka which is extremely on the nose
ok i'm watching the first ep
so human civilizations have been fighting kaiju since the 14th century at least. And their really advanced tech is made from kaiju bits another neat design. just a big fat lizard from the sea. Nice coloring and girth
yeah def cleaning up the dead giant monsters would certainly be an important industry we're just like a min in but I can see why folks would be interested in a series that's just about post-kaiju battle cleanup. like that's very interesting
Mc to injured coworker: Don't forget to file a claim for worker's comp
also Kafka is 32 yrs old i'm with Kafka how the fuck does management expect that to get cleaned up by the end of the week? that is a dead animal the size of a city block with its guts splattered across another city block, that shit should take no less than a month to clean
clean yer fucking room
you could have who knows what growing in those beer cans
listen i dont have a foot to stand on about dishes but like, dont put trash in the sink damnit
local 32 year old doesnt like his job and feels like he failed to achieve his dreams
edgy teenager that just joined the clean-up crew and assigned to Kafka to teach him the ropes damn near calls Kafka a loser for giving up on making it into the kaiju fighting forces like damn kid i feel like, as someone who basically shovels shit for a living you get used to gross work. Like, I don't enjoy scraping up bloody dog diarrhea and it smells god awful but I'm not about to be gagging or not able to eat my lunch cause of it. And i've only been shoveling shit for 3 yrs. Man been in monster clean up for how long and still gagging after chainsawing giant intestines really? yeah actually the monster clean-up stuff is neat. I could see a slice-of-life story of a monster cleanup crew just as a whole series
local teen a bit more grateful after making it through a whole day of cleaning shit. Is a lot nicer still calls his ass a quitter damn mfers just having a conversation at the end of the day at their workplace and a kaiju shows up to try and eat a bitch out of nowhere
people with anxiety must have shit bad in this world local 32 yr old impresses teen by saving his fucking life
and being level headed in situation and distracting the monster while telling the kid to get to safety and call the fucking authorities imagine living in a world where natural disasters have teeth and the ability to chase you with intent to devour man oh hey jumping through a glass window causes injuries local teenager comes back to help and does save the mc from getting ate but like, child, uh, you are both bite sized to that spider thing
sir you have broken bones and lacerations and very much bleeding. Pls stay down.
I know the tiger thing is probably supposed to be cool but like… dont keep tigers as pets. or use them as attack animals at yer work place that could go south really fast pls there's bound to be injured civilians
local teenager trying to be nonchalant in saying thanks and that the old dude was kinda cool and made good calls just a bug here
staring at this man while he's having a moment with his new friend the bug (psychically to Kafka): Found You
does that… get elaborated on? I feel like that's something that should get elaborated on
also here's a theory: bug's been searching for Kafka, I have to assume he's not been as injured and bleeding everywhere to the extent that he did today and it followed the scent of his blood to him. Like I have to assume it was looking for him for a reason and that he's compatible with being turned into a kaiju and keeping his original mind and personality intact for a reason as well it forced itself down his throat
that's a thing
and now everyone is freaking out
fucking buff Donnie Darko is still a letdown compared to the literal dragonfly ok that was funny. but uh forced to deepthroat a bug kaiju at least the size of a macaw and length of a small python
outside of the thrashing and gagging as it whent down and he transformed, dude took it rather well. Didnt even throw up this lady really just owns a tiger that lives in her apartment outside of fighting monsters for work. That is not good tiger keeping
just cause yer a bad ass monster slayer doesnt mean you should have a pet tiger who lives in yer appartment when yer off work that you just let walk around unrestrained. That's bad for the tiger, its bad for you, and its bad for bystanders

CW I minorly injured myself at work today. Mentions of blood and a trip to urgent care. 🤕🩸💉
Today at work I was picking something up off the floor in the back room and when I stood up I bashed my head against the corner of a shelf.
It was a sharp bright pain that made me immediately sit down on the floor for a minute with my hand pressed to my head. Then I realized I was bleeding so I stood back up and grabbed some Kleenexes.
I was alone in the back so I called the store from my phone and when one of my managers answered I was like “hi, it’s Jennifer in the back. I just knocked my head open. Can someone come help me?” 😆
I stopped bleeding after a couple minutes and at no point did I ever feel woozy or concussed, but the wound was big enough that everyone agreed it should be checked out and probably stitched.
One of the managers offered to drive me to urgent care, but we couldn’t leave for like 15 minutes after that because the owner (who was in a meeting but was involved via text) said there was an incident report form that needed to be completed but no one knew where the form was and at one point the owner told my manager to Google for a standard worker’s comp form.
Meanwhile someone went to the break room for the first aid kit but there wasn’t one so I dabbed my head with a wet paper towel and then applied a bandaid out of my own stash.
They got me a chair to sit in, but I was still clocked in while we waited for the owner to stop dicking around. Boss makes a dollar, I make a dime, might as well bleed on company time. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
While I was sitting there I texted my kids and then I attached sensors to a couple pairs of sneakers because I’d been in the middle of doing that right before I’d gotten distracted with the urge to pick irrelevant detritus up off the floor over by the shelf with the surprisingly sharp corner.
Finally my manager wrote down the details of my injury on a post-it (“hit my head on the shelf over there, it bled.”) and I clocked out and we drove to urgent care.
They cleaned me up, glued the wound shut, and gave me a tetanus shot. (I said thank you to the shot nurse and she was so appreciative! She said she doesn’t hear that a lot! 😄) I passed all the neurological tests and I also got a lollipop (cherry).
My husband had to come get me and drive me back to the store so I could get my car, so we stopped at a taqueria on the way back because it was dinner time and I was getting a little queasy by that point from the adrenaline crash. I got some tasty fajitas and also got horchata to go because I deserve treats when I have a head wound. 🥤🤕
Now I can’t get my hair wet for five days and I have a big dumb oversized bandage on my forehead until tomorrow but worker’s comp paid for everything and I’m hoping for a cool-ass scar!!

Chris' Healing (Part 1)
(This is a story of a man fattened up unwittingly by his feeder girlfriend. It contains stuffing, humiliation, and a bit of physical description of a BHM. This is the first part of a multi-part story!) It  was 10 months since Chris’ injury, and he had became a whale of a man. He had always been a big guy, but his work had always kept him active, after a workplace accident he was left on the mend, and at the mercy of his doting partner. They had been dating for a few months prior to his injury, but the moment he got hurt she pounced. She did everything for him, feed him, clean his house, he never had to lift a finger. Every morning, huge breakfasts and a ‘nutritional shake’ while leaving him with enough snacks you’d think there was a house party going on, before swinging by after work and making sure he had a feast for dinner. He never complained, honestly for the first time in his life, it was a chance for him to take a break from always pushing for more. His workers comp claim was handsome, he was probably making more injured than he was working, and with all the help she was providing him, he opened his accounts to her. She had practically moved in, sleeping over every night, feeding him, massaging his body from neck to toe. He never noticed how she focused on his belly, it just seemed to hurt a lot, and she knew what to do to make him feel better.  At first he was a bit resistant, wanting to help out and maintain a bit of decorum, but the combination of having her around him constantly and the literal stream of food entering him, he became more and more gluttonous. He would burp in front of her and she would encourage him “that’s good babe! You should do what makes you comfortable.” Or “it just means you’re digesting” she said with a knead of his belly. As his gut grew it would stick out more and more, the shirt would ride up so high he would forget he’s even wearing one sometimes, being too focused on eating and relaxing to realize what was happening. There was no time inappropriate for eating, in bed, in the bathroom, even in and out of the showers he would take, there was always food, she made sure of it.
                Finally, the day came, Chris felt had been pushing to get back to work, and today was the day he was going to put his foot down with her. He was sitting at home, waiting for her to come home from work with more food. She entered the front door and called out ‘Hey Babe, I’m home’ he responded with a mouth full of chips “In here” she came in to see him sitting on the couch in all his glory. His giant, globular belly forcing his sweatshorts down, they had no drawstring, frankly they were so tight on his waist it’s a surprise they could stay on. His work of the day was obvious all around him, several bags of chips, a bucket of fried chicken he ordered off doordash, three different soda cups sitting next to him, a tub of ice cream sitting on it’s side, and that was just the few hours she was gone. He shuffled in the chair, sitting himself up a bit from the position he had sunk into the couch during his gluttony. “so… honey. I have my back to work physical scheduled for tomorrow” She fluttered her eyes at him “oh, really…” she let out a sigh “you think you’re ready?” He stifled a belch before replying “well… yeah I think I can swing it” (I had to cut the post down a bit since it wouldn't let me post it.)
