    Really, you ought to file an injury report. This is work related injury=
.
It should be documented, ASAP. Failure to do so will make it very difficult
to establish a definite connection (=B3they=B2 could allege pre-existing
condition). This definitely puts you in line for such things as workman=B9s
compensation (that=B9s why we pay those taxes, directly or indirectly), and
should serve to wake up the administration types to the liability danger
they are incurring allowing you to move pianos solo. They=B9re worried about
liability allowing students to help. Those worries should also apply to you=
.
