Description
Loyd Davis, hereinafter designated petitioner, sustained injury to his back by accident arising out of and in the course of his employment. His claim for workmens compensation was regularly processed and upon medical advice corrective surgery was performed on March 19, 1954, for the purpose of effecting spinal fusion. The following November a board of doctors recommended that petitioner discard his brace within ten days and increase his activities for 30 days when he could return to light work, anticipating a return to regular employment in 60 or 90 days thereafter. In March, 1955, a consulting board of doctors reported that in its opinion petitioners condition was stationary; that no further treatment was required; and that he had not to exceed 25 percent physical functional disability. Findings were made in harmony with the doctors report, and pending determination of earning power, the Industrial Commission continued temporary partial disability, reserving jurisdiction to make further findings as may be indicated by evidence. On November 3, 1955, a hearing was had to determine petitioners earning capacity. As a result of this hearing, on January 5, 1956, the commission, so far as material before this court, found that petitioners condition was stationary with physical functional disability of not to exceed 25 percent; that he was physically and mentally able to perform the duties of a guest ranch caretaker or handyman or similar duties of a like nature; that he might reasonably be expected to earn $190 per month; that he sustained a 54.70 percent loss of earning capacity; and made award of compensation accordingly.
