ALMA WILSON, Justice,
dissenting:
I am gravely concerned with the Court’s pronouncement today because it condones the implementation of a law which operates ex post facto in violation of the United States Constitution1 and the Constitution of the State of Oklahoma.2 The application here permits the Court to determine a litigant’s percentage of disability and compute a limitations period after the fact. In instances such as the one on review, such anomalous procedure unconstitutionally denies due process of law3 because a litigant’s right to bring an action upon change of condition is precluded before he knows *1367what limitations period will be applied as to him.
I respectfully dissent.
