Description
This is an appeal from a judgment of the circuit court of Greene County which affirmed a decision of the Industrial Commission awarding workmen's compensation benefits to claimant, Josephine Walden, for injuries sustained while employed as a cook in a nursing home. An arbitrator had awarded her 11 1/7 weeks temporary total disability and an additional sum for 5% permanent and complete loss of use of the right leg. The commission, however, increased both awards, the former to 64 weeks temporary total incapacity, and the latter to 50% permanent and complete loss of use of the right leg. The employer appeals, contending that the evidence is insufficient to support either award, the specific assertions being that there was no evidence of permanent injury and that there is no evidence that the temporary total disability was more than 11 1/7 weeks in duration. Claimant experienced a severe pain in her back on March 4, 1961, as she lifted a heavy box of groceries which had been delivered to the nursing home. She continued working that day and the following day, but on March 6 she consulted Dr. Paul Dailey. At that time she complained of pain in the lower thoracic area which radiated down into the hips and right leg. The doctor gave her pain tablets and muscle relaxants, and arranged for her to consult with an orthopedic specialist.
