GLADNEY, Judge.
Travelers Insurance Company, the workmen’s compensation insurer of Vernon Johnson, prosecutes this appeal from a judgment which awarded compensation to plaintiff for total and permanent disability.
Kimbrell sustained an injury to his left hand and wrist on April 25, 1954, while employed by the insured. He received forty weekly compensation payments before being discharged by Dr. Don Overdyke, Jr., orthopedist of Shreveport, Louisiana, as able to resume his regular work as a carpenter. Upon insurer’s refusal to make further compensation payments, plaintiff instituted this suit.
