## Narrative

Employee needed knee surgery after 25+ years of maintenance work. Surgery was originally suggested at the end of 2022 when the employee had pain and swelling that didn't go away within a few days but the employee wanted to put it off as long as possible while trying other treatment options. After exhausting other options, surgery was scheduled for 1/2/2024.
