1Opinion of the Court
WYNN, Judge.
James Thomas Goforth, working in the garden department of K-Mart since April 2000, brought this worker’s compensation claim alleging that he injured his back in early May 2000 when he attempted to load two bags of peat moss into a customer’s car. Initially, a deputy commissioner denied benefits to Goforth for his work-related back injury claim. But following his successful appeal to the full Commission awarding him total disability from 27 August 2000 continuing until further order of the Commission, K-Mart appealed to this Court. After careful review, we affirm.
