    I was fine and able body until 3 years ago got injured working at UPS my second job. Since then experience horrific pain daily with every breath can’t feel anything in my right shoulder down to my rib cage. I volunteered at a COVID test center in 2021 as to being home made me depressed. I was working about 100hrs a week and loved it. The lawyers for UPS asked the judge to toss my case because because of my voluntary work at that COVID center. I don’t do drugs as I’m on heavy pain medication which makes my drowsy and have a hard time staying away. I’m certain if right now I go volunteering which in any form appear I’m doing some form of functional work UPS lawyers which advocate the judge toss my settlement case. Last thing I ever want is to collect government assistance. By the way the past 20yrs I’ve worked the government has been taking taxes from my paycheck for a disability fund in case me or you get injured. Go phuc yourself smart ass you don’t know chyt
