## Narrative

EE was coming down a ladder on a haul truck and when he got to the last rung he dropped to the ground, twisting his ankle. He was taken to NNRH and given a full duty release but was still in pain on 06/20/10 so he was looked at again at the hospital and was told to take 3 days off and then to start physical therapy. This injury became a lost time on that day (06/20/10)
