To me the number one symptom is denial.


Ohhh ya and I was FULL of it. After I was checked out at the hospital and test given I asked if I could return to the steel mill and take a shower. I was filthy, sweaty, and stinky, from 5 downday millwright jobs. Laying there in greasy fireproof pants and steel toe metaltarsel boots wasn’t appealing even to me. The nurse said no and I said get the doctor. He said I could leave if I signed myself out. I did and was picked up by a mill guard. I showered, changed into street clothes, drove myself to the hospital a 1/2 mile away, parked in the lot, and walked in. When I checked in my test results were in and the nurse said lay down, you aren’t going anywhere now. At least I looked and smelled better.
