Hey guys/gals,
New here, so thanks for letting me join the group. I have a unique situation that I hope some of you can shed some light on with a similar hiring experience.
I had knee surgery (ACL & Meniscus) May 25th, and went into my interview session on June 20, 2017. I left the crutches in the truck, and limped in with my knee brace on under my pants. I had a great interview & recieved a Conditional Offer.
As of now, I am on "Medical Hold" until I get a Full Medical Release from my surgeon to go back to work. The problem is that I will be testing on the Biodex Machine for my physical test. According to my Physical Therapists, "That machine is the worst thing you can strap yourself into with your type of repair even after you are fully healed". The reason why is because I had a Hamstring Graft, and the nature of the leg extension resistance test. They gave me a high possibility of ruining my Graft even after I am healed, and said if I am crazy enough to get in that machine, wait 9 to 12 months.
Has anyone had a similar surgery that they have recovered from, and was tested on the Biodex Machine? How long after the offer did BNSF or UP wait for you?
All answers appreciated, Thanks!
