I can now put weight on the Ankle without Pain.
Taking it easy though as I dont want to delay the healing.
My 18yo niece received her acceptance into the Navy today. She's worked damn hard to get there, and the hard work has paid off. I'm so happy for her I'm actually teary.
Heard from UFI that they are a 'little' behind at the moment. Appreciate the news, now I know.
About a month ago, I left my office window open and a rain storm came through and soaked my lappy to the point of zzzzztttttt. lol
My fantastic insurance company gave me a new lap top and other stuff.
Now, I'm back!
G'day Clunky. lol
1 more day till retirement, he ha. :D
Got email from lawyers advising they have put the insurance company on notice and will be filing a breach claim against for failure to pay medical costs.
Also got a letter from the arbitrator approving an extension for a common law claim until november at this stage based on my specs report listing my condition as unstable and unemployable.
Will see on tuesday what the surgeon says but hoping for some positive news again

You may never be 100% after surgery but 99% is pretty damn close.
Confused by the whole body impairment thing or is that just a term till they have a name for it
To me that would imply to me no upper or lower body movement
It used be a % of "whole body disability" but there too many loop holes so they changed it.Quote:

Common law claim only allows upto $465k but takes into account what you may receive from WC payouts.
EG I may get $200k WC payout then my maximum under common law goes to $265k = $465k total allowed but it is very rare to get that high now.
It was changed back in 2005 as you could have 2 guys with identical injuries and got to 2 different specs, 1 gets 5% and the other gets 30%. Now with the changes it makes it very hard for the specs here to give a false % rating and even a true % rating is hard to get now.
tops back in the day was $185k with 75% pay weekly
if injured by car then TAC pay out is un limited
You have com care or similar ?
Not just common workcover ?
Comcare wasn't adopted over here because our grubs suck. Only have normal workers comp
wow wish those figures were around back in the day.
but would prefer not to be eligible though
its a beautiful day here in the west and i am heading off on the harley after lunch for my best mates 63rd birthday bash at a place called xmas tree wells, its been held there for over 35 yrs now, will be great to catch up with some old biker mates that i see only every now and again, one guy i havent seen since riding over to the HA's broadford concert in 1982 prior to flying to the states for 10 months of harley heaven in the usa :)
Filling up the sub and an nearly half empty main and getting change from $200 for 150 litres of BP Diesel... BOOYAH... gotta love an oil glut.

Completed my 12th back to back Pier to Pub yesterday. That's four open water races in two weeks so that's not to bad for an old fella.
Always a bonus when you're able to come out at the other end.
I will be home in a couple hours after an exhausting couple of weeks.
Causing an accident and no major damage to the other car.
Nice background, is that one of the rubber ones? I'm considering making one for my tank so I can incorporate a landing for a turtle in the future. Looks goodQuote:
