Disco Steve in Hospital

[Disco Steve]

Hi to Everyone, my name is Sally(Steve's GF)
Steve has been admited to hospital with serious swelling/bruising in his head.
If anyone in canberra has some spare time and could go and have a chat, that would really cheer him up.

Thanks
Sally

[Slunnie]

Sally please pass on my regards to Steve and wish him a speedy recovery. It sounds like he's come unstuck on that pushy!

[carjunkieanon]

Hi Sally,

sorry to hear about Steve. I'm not in Canberra (nor do I know him), but it must be pretty ordinary both for him and for you - worry for someone you care about is pretty intense.

Keep us posted on how he (and you) are doing. I'll keep thinking of him.

Perhaps print out Blknight's 'Book' posts and read them to him :D

Bugger! I spoke to him last night (we were supposed to go to Melbourne thence to Rovercare's today). Is this to do with the 4WD bull bar hitting him in the head?

Wish him well from me, Sally. It was only a week ago that he was in my house chatting with me.

And tell him to report the accident to WorkCover. Despite what his boss and his boss' insurance company may say to him, he should be covered by WorkCover as it happened on his way from work. Sounds like they are trying to pull a swifty over an apprentice (which is what Steve is).

[Blknight.aus]

well it was bound to happen... hopefully it happened because he was doing something he enjoyed trying to do.

if it did tell him I said hes psycotic....then tell him to get better for me.

oh and let him know I have a decent SIII chassis he can have.

[Disco Steve]

yes it was because of the 4wd that hit him while he was on his bike.

[justinc]

What the..:o

Poor old thing!:(

All our best wishes for a speedy recovery Steve, from the inhabitants of northern antactica...

they are its just that bullbars are being made stronger:D

[stevo68]

Ditto all the above, my old man had the reverse, taken out by a push bike in Amsterdam.....broken hip....just got back last weekend,

[disco2hse]

Sally,

First thing. Remember to take of yourself too. Having a loved one in hospital is very stressful and with all the running around that you end up doing, you can run yourself into the ground.

Secondly, while I can't be there (a little too far to the East ;) ) I send my best wishes. I recall the accident and saying at the time that he needed to get it checked out. These things have a tendency to sneak up because they go on inside the head. And yes, I would think it would be covered by the insurance, for lost wages, medical costs, etc.

Alan

[dullbird]

Sorry to hear Steve's bad news :(
I hope all goes well......


Damned bullbars...they should be banned :TIC:

but only in victoria thats where the killer ones are:angel::D

[MarknDeb]

Please wish Steve all the best and speedy recovery from us.

[Xtreme]

All the best from Montreal, Canada for a speedy return to good health Steve.
And you look after yourself also, Sally, during this stressful period.

Roger

[Range Blitzer]

Say g'day from me too, and all the best. What hospitals he in?
Robert...

[p38arover]

Do the police need to be advised that Steve has been hospitalised following the accident?

[simonl8353]

Steves - GF.

Please pass on my thoughts for a speedy recovery.

Try to make sure the police are informed of the current situation as it was related to the previous accident on his bike. I read that thread, sounded bad.

[Disco Steve]

Say g'day from me too, and all the best. What hospitals he in?
Robert...

He is currently in the ICU at calvary.

Thank you everyone for you support.

Sally

[The ho har's]

please pass on best wishes from the both of us:)

Mrs ho har:)

[isuzurover]

Wow - very sorry to hear! Hope you have a speedy recovery Steve!!!

[p38arover]

He is currently in the ICU at calvary.

Ruddy heck! I hope all goes well.

I'm even more sure the police should be advised. The driver of the 4WD was identified - his father took him to the cop shop.

[2 rocks]

So sorry to hear! Thoughts and wishes to you both!
Mike

[ivery819]

Sally

You have new PM.

[DeeJay]

Sally,
Please pass on to him my best wishes.
He was down in Melb not all that long ago and we had a good chat - again :).
Tell him he has to get well soon as I want to see those Diff's I sold him put to good use. Is he conscious and "with it".
Sorry to ask but I'm really concerned now.
Regards,
David

[dobbo]

Talking to steve at the moment, his brain surgery was completed in 10mins flat with only a local anesthetic and no short term issues, yet.

[Blknight.aus]

whats the news dobbo, is this from the accident with the car hitting him?

[Bush65]

Please accept my best wishes for a speedy and full recovery.

[isuzurover]

Brain surgery!?!?!?!

As I have already said get well soon! ...can I lighten the mood with:

Smithers this isn't rocket science - it's BRAIN SURGERY - so hand me that ice cream scoop!

[Bushwanderer]

Hi Sally,
Thanks for letting us know of Steve's condition.

As far as I know, the reputation of Canberra hospitals is good & so he's in good hands. Nevertheless, I appreciate that only time will convince you of that.

You take care of yourself,

[slug_burner]

Sally and Steve,

All the best for a speedy recovery.

[dobbo]

whats the news dobbo, is this from the accident with the car hitting him?


Yep

apparently a blood clot between his scalp and skull, a quick incision, insert the tube, attach the vaccum pump and suck.. Stitch it up and we got our Stevie boy back.

He was very excited about the hot nurses sucking on his head.:wasntme:

I nagged him for 30mins, we've come to a compromise, he sells the motorbikes but keeps the MTB.

IMHO he is very lucky he only had a fit and not have a stroke. Even luckier he had just got out of the car when it happened. But I'm not a doctor and aparently no 4call

[p38arover]

IMHO he is very lucky he only had a fit and not have a stroke. Even luckier he had just got out of the car when it happened.

Even luckier he and I weren't driving to Melbourne!

[George130]

Been chatting to the boy.
Turns out the doctors are yoto drivers and were trying to remove the Landy gland:D.

Yes it stems from the bull bar incident. He was supposed to have the tube inserted today to remove pressure but he collapsed last night and was rushed to hospital.

Guess he does have a brain in there.
He was well enough to threaten me about smart **** posts tonight. He is also wondering what we are all saying about him so nows your chance while he can't complain!

Dave we will have to work out a plan to get the chassis back so the resto can begin.

[timaus13]

I hope you are both holding up I have had the pleaseure of meeting and travelling with Steve when he was here in tasmania/Antarctica:-)
I shall pray the doctors do not remove his appetite for Landies;) but add some slow down juice to his veins:D as he seems to want to fly everywhere?
cheers to u both.
Regards
Tim:D

[Blknight.aus]

tell him to look after himself and I'll start looking after his new chassis...

Might even be able to get it down to sydney for him.

[LandyAndy]

All the best mate,hopefully no long term issues.
Andrew

[long stroke]

All the best for a speedy recovery:)

Time for him to meet a lawyer?

[timaus13]

Very good news Sally I am relieved to hear he is out of hospital and hope he is going well. Please pass on my regards and a speedy recovery to him.
PS Look after yourself also, I now know how much my operation impacted on my Wife.
cheers:D

Hello Sally

Sorry to hear of your troubles but I'm glad to hear he's on the mend. Landy owners are as just as tough as their trucks. But I'm sure his quick recovery will be due in no small part to your love. Us men may put a lot of effort into our rovers, but we would be lost without our significant other. He's a lucky Man. My wife couldn't even make me admit this :MileStone: Try to keep this quite!

Best wishes from Calgary, Alberta, Canada

Justin

[Cap]

Just read this. Like all above, hope for a speedy recovery mate.

[XSiV]

I'm a little behind the times also, so I want to add my best wishes for a speedy recovery and I am glad to hear that Steve is on the mend.

As mentioned by P38 definitely inform the police of this visit to hospital. I can recommend a good lawyer who helped me out when I was knocked off my motorbike if you don't know anyone. He is in Sydney but is very good. If not workers comp you should at least be covered by Compulsory 3rd party which is usually the better route to take in these situations.

Regards

Josh

[Mick-Kelly]

If traveling directly to or from work it is definitely covered by workcover. One of the many hats i wear is a rehabilitation officer. Document everything and keep all medical records. The employer has an obligation to report the incident to workcover within a strict time period and it is in their best interest to do so. There is nothing stopping you from ringing workcover direct. they are not unfriendly, it is basically an insurance business.
If you do lodge a claim Workcover will assess it and if approved will cover all medical costs.

[Treads]

Only just caught up with this! Hope he recovers soon, how is he now?

Get well soon mate :)

[Disco Steve]

Well they let him out for a few hours today. He was giving the nurses the ****s. But he still has to go back for more testing over the next few days.

Just to make things more fun I broke my wrist today.

Sally

[long stroke]

Good news that Steve is on the mend, but not so good news that you broke your wrist, howed you do that??

TIM.

[Defender=1st]

Glad to hear steve is getting better !
X2 on what happened to your wrist
Cheers Adrian

[gruntfuttock]

Sorry to hear about all your bad luck. But glad to hear he is on the mend. Just a shame you did your wrist in now.
Best regards to both of you for a quick recovery

[p38arover]

Sally, you shouldn't have tried hitting sense into him! It wouldn't have worked anyway!

I hope your wrist is OK.

My best wishes to you both.

Ron

[George130]

Been on the phone with our resident Mr Bump.

Sally has a broken wrist and fractured colar bone. Down hill racers!:angel:
Steve is still locked up for now so we are all safe.
I think Steve is getting a little crazy about being kept in one place and not rushing around. He has also discovered he has a fractured rib.
