The opinion
I concur with the majority opinion but want to further emphasize that plaintiff may still establish continuing total disability after February 8, 2008 by filing of a request for hearing and presenting additional evidence of disability through the factors set forth in Russell v. Lowes Product Distribution , 108 N.C. App. 762 , 425 S.E.2d 454 (1993).
