The circuit court confirmed the Industrial Commission's compensation award to the petitioner, Earl Reynolds, for 35% permanent disability to his right leg (Ill. Rev. Stat. 1979, ch. 48, par. 138.8(e)(12)). The court further confirmed the Commission's determination that the petitioner's work for the respondent, United Design and Engineering Company, was seasonal. (Ill. Rev. Stat. 1979, ch. 48, par. 138.10(e).) The petitioner appeals. We affirm. On August 5, 1980, the 60-year-old petitioner injured his right knee while installing pipe in a ditch. On November 4, 1980, Dr. David Thomas performed arthroscopic surgery, which included cleaning, debriding, shaving, and trimming on the knee. Following surgery, the petitioner underwent Cybex machine therapy three times a week from May 26, 1981, through September of 1981. He received no medical treatment thereafter. In December of 1981, Dr. Thomas released him to do light work. While the petitioner continued working up until the surgery, he has not worked since.
