a cordless keyboard,


and its all good!!!

!!!!

He injured his shoulder at work back in December and is still off on compo ( well, back on light duties at the moment, but only for 2 weeks) awaiting surgery at the end of April.

Waiting time to see a specialist around here is 6weeks minimum. Then it was 10 weeks wait for surgery after that Only one local bloke does shoulders Then there is the 12week rocovery time after surgery.

They want me back on light duties, but having trouble just walking at the moment - and being in simular ocupation as Numpty theres not alot you can do on light duites within our proffession.....

But your right Pedro - the computer keeps me in touch with friends....

All the best

OoH! Dear! Wayne, that's what happens when you drive a Ser1 all the way to Cooma and back, should have given it to me then I could have relocated it to Qld up near the Numpty's place, keeping Leon and Thomas company, Sue just asked if it is the Cruciate Ligaments, as the drive would not have helped she did both hers when she fell up the stairs trying to run to answer the phone years ago. very painful I am told, but mine are to far gone for that, put them through a Dashboard in 73 in a MVA turned Left Patella to powder but I am still breathing and I GOT TO COOMA you will have to move up to sunny Qld and live with the rest of us crocks

It took me 3 months to see a knee specialist who then simply told me that I need to see an elbow and shoulder specialist which took another 4 months. Then when I finally saw him he said there was not much to do and put up with it and stop playing squash.

After a few months my sqaush buddy convinced me to see another specialist and 3 months later I got to see him another two months later I got to have surgery.

He found a piece of broken bone, cleaned out the joint and said take it easy for a while. No squash, swimming cyclint etc.

Anyway now I am playing squash again without my arm blowing up like a football.

So you have done reasonably well in getting to see the specialist.

Seen the doctor last week but now have to wait for the specalists advice, but he has already pre-warned me it looks like surgery is required. ...

(This one is for "p38a" Ron ) If a "warning" could be defined as a precautionary statement then is a "pre-warning" a pre-pre-cautionary statement? How can you be before before (which in mathematics may be after)?

Very sad that your knee has failed you again, however we did discuss getting back on the trucks at work.

You need a supervisor to stop you doing silly things until your knee has time to repair properly - 12 months minimum after any surgery. Maybe your wife could allow you into the shed but only to do sit down work at a table/bench - do you have lots of small parts to do for the 80"?

Once again hope things work out this time.

Isn't a pre-precautionary statement a tautology?

Yup and a pre-warning is also a "tautology".

However I thought it would be Ron who would come back with that comment, instead you have beaten him to the punch.

I posted this by mistake in the back injury thread so here it is again.

If The Honourable The Minister really wants you to rest then play it to the hilt. Get a buzzer and arrange code signals.

One buzz = beer
Two buzzes = mixed nuts
Three buzzes = more beer than last time

Add others as found necessary, e.g. antipasto platter, rum, pizza, lap dance.
