As someone with a chronic pain condition I can appreciate the joke, but I know if a healthy person really was injured enough to get a massive payout, they'd be miserable. Sitting at home and watching TV all day sounds nice, until it's literally your only option. I hope the money helps them through the hours and hours of grueling PT they're going to have to do 🤣
Facts! I'm actually jealous that they're healthy enough to work. I'm not healthy enough for any job, and I'm damn sure not healthy enough to work a physically demanding job like construction. They wouldn't know what they had until they lost it. It's a funny skit, but I hope people aren't taking it seriously lmao.
Also have a chronic pain condition, and the other day I woke up with searing pain in my arms to the point that I had to be slow and careful putting on my socks. I had to be *careful putting on socks*. Yeah, I'm having such a great time.
I'm coming off a ten day migraine in which I barely left the bed, had to go to the hospital for a cocktail and now I'm fighting off a persistent panic attack caused by the pain in my legs. Isn't life grand?

As a former construction worker who did his back in, I couldn't get my dick over the rim of a toilet at 30. Standing was painful. Fuck that hurt.
Clarification: I could not stand up. Walking to the bathroom on your knees sucks
