On 7/25/16 I met Mr. Kabel at the office of Dr. Beird. The office was filled to capacity and the wait was extended. Mr. Kabel reports that the right hand is better. The left hand is still painful. Examination showed that the left hand was still a bit behind the right. The right hand repair was done 2 weeks prior to the left hand. Dr. Beird feels he will be able to get back to work in the next few weeks with restrictions. He will not be able to use a jackhammer though. I updated the employer and the adjuster. The employer asked if he would be able to drive since he has a big job coming up. I contacted Dr. Beird and he agreed to allow Mr. Kabel to drive.
