Frosty's off & operation

[Colapop]

I got a message from Frosty this morning saying he has his operation today. Please join me in wishing him well.

For those that are unaware he had an off at Taupo and smashed his wrist up pretty good. He seemed ok when I spoke to him but obviously couldn't talk for long. Seems Taupo doesn't like you eh, Frosty? Or is it age? :dodge: Heal well mate.

[chanceyy]

Heal quick Frosty .. good luck

[Disco Dan]

Far out. Get well soon frosty!! ...im sure you can borrow the strangers hand ;)

Hows the bike???

[Maha]

Can always use the other hand....:Punk:

[TonyB]

Bugger! Hadn't heard about this at all. Hope it all goes well for you Frosty, get well soon!

[trumpy]

Best wishes mate and heal quick:yes:

[robertydog]

Get well soon Frosty. Hope the op goes well.

[ZeroIndex]

I saw his off yesterday... hope the operation goes smoothly, and that he heals up quickly...

[Mrs Busa Pete]

Heal quick frosty hope all goes well with the op. But please make sure you sit on the other hand for a while:grouphug:

[riffer]

Yeah Frosty thanks for the wakeup at 6.00 this morning. The wrist injury certainly hasn't slowed your texting down it seems though. I had the phone set to outdoors mode and it woke the whole house up LOL!

Sounds a bit nasty but I know it'll only slow you down for a bit.

All the best for today mate. :yes:

[Devil]

Eeek, sorry to hear. Hope all goes well.

[Colapop]

Yeah Frosty thanks for the wakeup at 6.00 this morning....

Great way to start the day! WTF! Fumbling round in the dark, trying to figure out what's going on... It's not like you're not going to have all day... and tomorrow... I'll send ya some flowers... ya b*stard!

[MadDuck]

Yeah Frosty thanks for the wakeup at 6.00 this morning.

Bwahahahaha...6am you lucky thing!

I will go see him when hes had the op and give you all an update.

I was more worried about him hitting his head but head is fine and still attached to his shoulders. Thanks to those at the track that helped us out and for the well wishes.

[Drum]

Bugger. All the best for the op Frosty. Make sure they do the correct hand.

[MadDuck]

Hows the bike???

Bikes actually not too bad Disco. It was somewhat cushioned by his lordship :yes:

[Nasty]

Frosty all the best .. heal well.

[Goblin]

I didn't see your initial off but I know how it feels to be KO'd. Was quite concerned for you but glad you're gunna be ok. All the best for the op and a fast recovery.:yes:

[MSTRS]

What a shock to read this....knowing Frosty it'll be a storm in a teacup. Heal well, mate.

[madmal64]

Buggar! All the best for the op and recovery.

[Pumba]

Bloddy hell if he didnt have bad luck at taupo he would have no luck at all.

Good luck for the op and heal well

[Macktheknife]

All the best mate will call you soonish, rest easy.

[yungatart]

All good wishes coming your way, Frosty. Heal well!

[bert_is_evil]

I saw his off yesterday...

What happened?

Get well soon Frosty!

[Joni]

Heard about this last night....

Kinda sucks eh Tony? But I suppose we all know if part of the game... :(

Take care
heal well.

:spudwave:

[James Deuce]

You knob Frosty!

Take it easy for goodness sake. No racing for a while and don't ride with a cast - the bugs end up inside and make it smell worse.

[MadDuck]

For those that dont know ...I am pit crew for Frosty.

I have just spoken to the lad and he has asked me to update you on his behalf as he is not able to at this moment in time. Sounds like he's enjoying the morphine!

He is now at hospital # 3 thanks to our amazing govenmental policies and is awaiting the operation and in a bit of pain. His wrist is broken in three places and was literally forced back into place....somewhat painfully as I am sure you can all imagine.

When he hit the deck his head hit the track and he was "out cold" for 5 minutes. The bike came to rest on top of him. His helmet is pretty much munted which saved his noggin.

I will send him all your well wishes which I am sure will help put a smile back on his dial.

My comment: The Marshall got to him pretty damn fast and to the racer who lifted the bike off him...you both gave a fantastic effort. Thanks guys!

[MyGSXF]

Geez Frosty.. not good news to hear!! :shit:

Here's hoping you heal quick, & are back up & bouncing around in no time!!! :Punk:

Take care :hug:

Jen :rockon:

[crashe]

Shite Frosty, you take care and rest up once you have been operated on..

Let the wrist heal properly, before you go and take the plaster off.
Yep I can see you whipping it, off before you are meant to.


MadDuck - Cheers for the updates... much appreciated.


Colapop - Thanks for starting the thread letting us know about Frosty's accident.

[codgyoleracer]

Bad luck frosty - Yet another comeback to be made now. Get well soon

[HDTboy]

bouncing around

Try not to bounce too often mate. Hope it gets better quickly

[MVnut]

Get well soon mate, will call ya later & blab agout Europe......ciao

[GSVR]

I'm sure that was the same corner as last time. Last time your bike got badly munted. This time your bike looked pretty good and you sustained the damage.

Hope you make a full and rapid recovery my friend.

[ZeroIndex]

What happened?

Get well soon Frosty!

There was a Pink SV and a black Hyosung GT650 going round a corner, then they weren't going round the corner... was quite worried about Frosty cause he didn't get up... i think it was on like... turn 2 on the track 2 (first right-hander) on their 2nd lap... hey, is there something about the number 2? Can't quite remember what lap they were in, but it was either lap 2 or 3...

[ZeroIndex]

My comment: The Marshall got to him pretty damn fast and to the racer who lifted the bike off him...you both gave a fantastic effort. Thanks guys!

Haha, yeah... good effort at moving the bike away from Frosty, but I wouldn't exactly call it 'lifting the bike off him'... from where I was (above the pit garages), it looked like he just dragged the bike by the wheel for a metre and then left it alone...

[boomer]

the curse of the pink bike..

heal fast Tony.. ya limp wristed fag:love:

[flame]

Sorry to see you go down Frosty, and all of the others that the track played nasties with too. In all honesty Im surprised more didn't go down with the track feeling the way it did. Hope you have a super speedy recovery.

The track sure took it's toll of bikes and riders yesterday. Never seen 27 bikes go down in such a short space of time. Im sure that drizzle contained a mix of H2o and oil!

[Prof - R]

get well soon mate all the best

[Big Dog]

Get well soon.
Live large.

[Nicksta]

heal quick dude.....
was a bit worried watching you go down... but was soo relieved when they moved your bike and you were ok...ish...
rest up... and see you soon ay....

[MadDuck]

:o Well just got back from the horspiddle.

The story goes. Went to Taupo horspiddle and as a couple of others discovered their xray staff were on strike so he stayed there for observation as he had wacked his scone rather hard. Next stop Middlemore where they took xrays and said...thats not too good we will operate 10.30am tomorrow (thats this morning). BUT WAIT theres more. Suddenly the beuracracy kicked in and said he was outside the Middlemore catchment and would have to go to North Shore. So 6.30am this morning in a big white bus with flashy lights on the top off to Noreth Shore with arrival time of 7.30am.

I have just got back from North Shore where you guessed it! He is still in the A&E waiting room...12 hours later. No beds they say - Id like to no how come theres no beds when there is heaps of laundry. So it looks like he may be there for a few days.

He showed me the xrays and thats an impressive dislocation and I can understand how it would have hurt when they shoved that puppy back in place.

He also has a lovely crack :o . KIDDING alright he has a couple of cracked bones.

So the update is hes still waiting, waiting, waiting. And the irony is that today is a year to the day he tried to take the chain from the Taupo pits because he thought it would make a lovely necklace :shit:

[MadDuck]

Haha, yeah... good effort at moving the bike away from Frosty, but I wouldn't exactly call it 'lifting the bike off him'... from where I was (above the pit garages), it looked like he just dragged the bike by the wheel for a metre and then left it alone...

Well dragging the bike didnt make the story quite as impressive now did it :yes:

[El Dopa]

Bwahahahaha...6am you lucky thing!

I will go see him when hes had the op and give you all an update.

I was more worried about him hitting his head but head is fine and still attached to his shoulders. Thanks to those at the track that helped us out and for the well wishes.

Is he staying in for a while?

Let us know if he's up to visitors.

[Big Dan]

guess that sovles the number sencrio threat that white trash started

[Big Dog]

He also has a lovely crack :o . KIDDING alright he has a couple of cracked bones.

So it's confirmed then? Frosty is cracked.

[riffer]

Oh for fucks sake!

What kind of half-arsed system are they running up there!

At this rate the poor boy's going to be opiate-dependent before hes even been re-assessed.

Time for some of you Auckers boys to get down there and cause a bit of ruckus I reckon.

[Colapop]

Come on Si. You know as well as I do Frosty is trying to draw the pre-op drugs out as long as possible!!

3rd hospital and still waiting? It's pretty poor Auckland DHB. Spend more on patients and less on ads about the weather... or traffic or whatever is the ads are about... Kick their arse Frosty.

I'm reminded on the "Search for the Holy Grail" - Monty Python... the Black Knight "No arms? HA! Tis but a flesh wound! I shall kick you into submission...."

[paveho]

Hope you're well again soon, Frosty.

[crashe]

cheers for the update MadDuck..... much appreciated.


I'm sure they will find him a bed, somewhere, real soon in the hospital.
Especially if he starts to race the bed up and down the ward.

[scrivy]

I heard they're still looking for a pink bed for him.......:shutup:

[scrivy]

Why have the nurses taken out so many packets of ear plugs?????:dodge:

[Drew]

Sorry to see the biff bro, heal up quick.


































(Even if ya did see right through me in the pit, and ask Vicki, stnding behind me, where I bloody was!)

[tide]

Bugga, heal up well and quick... :scooter:

[Blondini]

Time to call the media I say:yes: :Punk: Sure gets them moving really fast.I have offererd to go and give him a bed wash:lol: :doctor: But I guess It was the morphine as he was just happy to have theQUOTE "pretty nurses"Taking care of him:killingme :rofl: Heal fast matey :yes: :love:

[klingon]

ouch! Sorry to hear about that Frosty. I still owe you a clutch lever, so if yours is broken I'll give you mine. Unfortunately I don't have any spare wrists to lend you... so make sure you get yours fixed up nicely. :yes:

[erik]

Sorry to hear that Frosty. I hope you make a full recovery and that you didn't do any more nerve damage.

[El Dopa]

WHAT. A. FUCKING. SHOWER. OF. SHIT.

Just got back from NS hospital - I'm only down the road so I dropped into see if he needed anything.

Frosty had his off on Sunday afternoon. He hasn't slept since as he hasn't been in a bed, and is now in his 3rd hospital STILL FUCKING WAITING TO BE SEEN. He's currently sitting in the A&E waiting room in a CHAIR, wondering if a bed will come free. That almost certainly won't be tonight, his second night since the off.

If he gets seen tomorrow morning it'll be a minor miracle. 48 hours. Words fail me.

Taupo hospital need fucking reaming for discharging him: 'hand hanging off sir? Never mind, see your GP in a day or two if it isn't growing back into place by itself. Don't worry about your neck pain or that bump on the head. If we ignore them, they'll probably go away. Maybe.'

[Blondini]

Time for action:yes:

[ManDownUnder]

Who has the approiate interests though?

Nurses and Docs? No - they don't control budget.

Those in charge of the hospitals? No - they have the limitations imposed on them from above.

Min of Health it is... and (as usual) Govt. What would hurt them? Bad press ... or (more specifically) ammo for the Opposition Spokesman of Health. Attack them where it hurts, just prior to election time. Want more money? Make them hurt when they're vulnerable.

[James Deuce]

ammo for the Opposition Spokesman of Health. Attack them where it hurts, just prior to election time. Want more money? Make them hurt when they're vulnerable.

There is no Opposition.

The NZ "Public" screwed the last election up so badly they got the Government they deserved and effectively destroyed any hope of an organised Opposition. For goodness sake people get out there and LEARN how to make MMP work for you.

Find a friendly German to explain to you how you might have to vote for a party that seems to be diametrically opposed to your personal politics to get a Coalition Government in power that creates a Political environment that empowers your political views in the macro sense, and provides the scope to enable the activation of issues based "task groups" within the scop of Parliamentary Politics to support your personal issues. You might have to "trade" a constituent MP for a Party vote. At least try and put some THOUGHT into why voting for a constituent MP and that constituent MP's party is actually a BAD idea.

Somebody take Frosty some bottled water. Hospital water tastes funny.

[pinkhoggirl]

Words, and as it happens, actions, have failed me today too. I am beyond describing my frustration.

But...it IS in fact, the politics, and the funding that lead to this.....(appropriate adjective anyone?). My advice? Dont get sick.:bye:
And by the way - dont we have some kind of big budget surplus???
:shutup:

[ManDownUnder]

There is no Opposition.

...snip...

Somebody take Frosty some bottled water. Hospital water tastes funny.

Agreed (somewhat) re the oppostiion which is why we help create/arm them.

Re the water... the practical approach innately appeals to me.

[sAsLEX]

Oh for fucks sake!

What kind of half-arsed system are they running up there!


How many Billion dollars of surplus do we have?

ummm you will need to dumb that down a shade for NZ public and add the words "increased benefits" in there somewhere to get any chance of the plan working.

[Deviant Esq]

Bad enough having a bin and getting knocked cold... but as if injury wasn't enough, to have been pushed away from two hospitals and left to sit for days unattended in an A&E waiting room... that's more than insulting. It's downright despicable. To the hospitals involved in messing that up - hang your heads in shame. This man needs medical attention now.

Frosty - sorry to hear about your bin and injuries. Here's hoping you heal up soon. Hope you aren't still waiting at this point in time, that's just plain unprofessional.

[xwhatsit]

1) Jaysus, Frosty, that is a huge shame. What did you hit? Sounds like a reasonable bin. Hope you recover well.

2) And now with that over with I can rant on about how it's not the hospital's fault. Of course the man needs medical attention now, but the fact is they've got this triage thing where the guys with axes through their skulls and heart attacks take precedence over limp wrists needing straightening. It's a shame, but hospitals only have so many beds, and those from the North Shore tend to be fairly low on the intelligence scale and harm themselves quite often.

Everybody complains about the medical system here, which makes me laugh. In Brisbane I was super-lucky to have medical insurance -- had to have a $20,000 operation in a private hospital, as the public system decided that a broken kneecap wasn't really worth spending time pinning back together, at least not for another 3 or 4 months. I can't imagine being in that amount of pain and having to walk around on crutches for 3 months longer than I already had to.

[Rashika]

Oh Frosty boy...whatcha gone and done now??
I hope you haven't hurt that pretty pink Lipsick of yours, I'll be very upset you know.
Thanks for the updates Mad duck and all my fingers crossed he gets his much needed limp wrist operation soon... and is back out there causing havoc soon. :yes:
Cant believe its been a year since the other incident!? Shit times passes quickly
Take care Frosty

[Kendog]

Hey Frosty, sorry to hear about the crash and crap medical service since then. Hope they sort you out and you're are feeling better soon.

Even during all this crap you still remembered us and our bike stand. Full credit to ya for getting in touch to organise delivery :rockon:

[bert_is_evil]

So if you had medical insurance in this situation would it make a difference? I didn't think private hospitals did A&E (except Shortland Street of course....)

[MadDuck]

Well yes people hes still sitting in the SAME FUCKING CHAIR. Thats as of 8.35 am Tuesday.

He needs to see some friendly faces so if anyone can drop in and say gidday it would certainly lift his spirits.

Cheers

Addition: Would be nice if they had at least offered him something to eat and somewhere to go shower....surely not too much to ask for?

[Joni]

Hmm, its moving way beyond acceptable now...

Cant believe that shit! :shit:
He must be feeling like hell!

:(

[robertydog]

:o
The story goes. Went to Taupo horspiddle and as a couple of others discovered their xray staff were on strike so he stayed there for observation as he had wacked his scone rather hard. Next stop Middlemore where they took xrays and said...thats not too good we will operate 10.30am tomorrow (thats this morning). BUT WAIT theres more. Suddenly the beuracracy kicked in and said he was outside the Middlemore catchment and would have to go to North Shore. So 6.30am this morning in a big white bus with flashy lights on the top off to Noreth Shore with arrival time of 7.30am.

I have just got back from North Shore where you guessed it! He is still in the A&E waiting room...12 hours later. No beds they say - Id like to no how come theres no beds when there is heaps of laundry. So it looks like he may be there for a few days.

He showed me the xrays and thats an impressive dislocation and I can understand how it would have hurt when they shoved that puppy back in place.

He also has a lovely crack :o . KIDDING alright he has a couple of cracked bones.

So the update is hes still waiting, waiting, waiting. And the irony is that today is a year to the day he tried to take the chain from the Taupo pits because he thought it would make a lovely necklace :shit:

I had an off on a Saturday and was sent to Thames Hospital where i was xrayed and asessed and was found to have a broken arm, broken shoulder blade and broken foot. Thames dont do surgery so was transfered to Waikato. Had to wait till Wednesday before i had an operation. And i had a bed. So poor old frosty could wait a few more days if he hasnt got a bed. Hope it all goes well Frosty.

[Mrs Busa Pete]

So if you had medical insurance in this situation would it make a difference? I didn't think private hospitals did A&E (except Shortland Street of course....)

I just rang acc what we can do is go pick him up take him to a gp who will then send him private only problem with that is that it's going to take a bit longer and now that he is in the system he might as well stay there. All though that depends how much longer they are going to be.

[Paul in NZ]

As a person with a chronic and ongoing medical condition that causes me to have constant contact with 'the system' don't get me started re the state of it.

I have the utmost respect for 'most' of the frontline staff but the place seems full of people that are either Timelords or have never owned a wristwatch.

One reason I left committee work with an organisation responsibile for advocating for people with my condition was the way we were getting sucked into the whole DHB / PHO world of stupid fucking meetings that do nothing except consume time and resources and nothing for the people with the condition.

We can't get GP's or doctors to work in NZ - oh bugger - I got started didn't I...

Good luck Frosty - You will need it... until you are admitted and then you will be OK...

[riffer]

Well I've just got off the phone to Tony and things aren't getting any better.

There's no sign of anything happening, he's in pain and to make matters worse, Middlemore hospital could have done the operation yesterday but the hospital he's at have no vacancies at all. The doctors are pulling their hair out about it but they're bound to adhere to bureaucratic process.

He was supposed to start his new job yesterday. That's now at risk because of all this. I've rung his work to try and smooth things over but they didn't sound too happy.

I'm feeling bloody useless down here, but as he said, what could I do from up there anyway?

Not happy with the hospital system at the moment. :angry:

[MSTRS]

Hmm, its moving way beyond acceptable now...

Cant believe that shit! :shit:
He must be feeling like hell!

:(

???? Even 12 hours is UNacceptable. Media. Now.
Flippant - yes - but a good analogy of the hospital 'system' we now have....

[Mrs Busa Pete]

Ok this is just bloody ridiculous so 4.30 this afternoon if frosty is still sitting in the waiting room could we get as many kber up at north shore hospital to vist him and keep him company while he waits maybe if they have room full of bikers they will get there asses into gear and sort something our for him.

I'm going up to the hospital around 12.30 this is my mobile number 0275138498 if there is anyone willing to do this just txt me and i will let you know if he is still sitting there.

[crashe]

There is a carparking space allocated for motorbikes as well near the entrance... second car park on the left I think it is.

And its FREE parking for bikes..... the guy in the booth always lets me in and then nods to let me out all for FREE.

[babyB]

If only wishes could come true
My wish would be
Health, happeness
And sunshine too

If i could toss a penny in
Maybe one, or more
My wish would still be
That you my friend
Would be well, as before

heal well my friend
& i hope they get there act together up there soon for you

[scrivy]

Scary thing is though guys, imagine if 1/2 of those that went down on Sunday required the same input as Frosty?? :shit:

The other more scarier thought......... if this is the case with Taupo Hospital not being up to standard, will MNZ or other powers that be have a change in focus, and not allow any big events to be run there due to the lack of medical attention??? :shit:

[Big Dan]

does anyone know the latest on this poor mans struggle

should get 3news or one news and close up and campbell live invovled

[MadDuck]

He is exactly in the same spot as this morning.

AND NOTE IF anyone is to get media or news involved it should be FROSTY!!!!

[Big Dan]

He is exactly in the same spot as this morning.

AND NOTE IF anyone is to get media or news involved it should be FROSTY!!!!

good point the least they could do is put him up in a motel till there is a bed but in saying that they are more likely to forget him that way

heres a thought they could get a bed from auckland hospital has our health system lost all logic

[aff-man]

heal up fast mate.....

Good on the guy on the black bike who crashed liftin it off ya..

[MadDuck]

Just heard hes going to get his operation this afternoon.

No point in going to visit until he is awake so please DONT show up at 4.30 as suggested by BusaPete.

Will keep you posted.

[Big Dan]

Just heard hes going to get his operation this afternoon.

Thats fantastic news we are all thinking of you Frosty take care

[riffer]

Just heard hes going to get his operation this afternoon.



WOOHOO!!!!

Great news!

We'll be thinking of you down here mate!!!!!

Did it have anything to do with his TV interview?

[Swoop]

Thank feck for that!
A decent group of unhappy bikers showing up at the hospital would have brought some attention to the issue...

Thanks, NZ gubbinment. The public health system we use while the politicians go private!


Heal up quickly Frosty!

[crashe]

Just heard hes going to get his operation this afternoon.

Thank you MadDuck for the latest update.

Hope the surgery goes well...... and the recovery time is reasonably quick coming out of anesthetic.....
And that he gets to go home within a day or so.

[Goblin]

Thank feck for that!

Heal up quickly Frosty!Nah...a group of big hairy blokes in rugby gear would have had them running around like blu arsed flies trying to cater to your every whim...then you'd get the best ACC case manager who'd offer you home help, gardener, alterations to your home to make life easier for you...any drugs you need will be fully subsidised and you get paid 80% of your wage for as long as you like....just milk it for all its worth!

So next time ya fall off, make sure you get out of ya leathers and into rugby gear and you'll be sweet!


All the best FROSTY.

[nudemetalz]

That is absolutely terrible !!! Poor bugger having to go through that.
I know what it's like to have a severly broken wrist (I had an external fixator screwed outside into my hand and arm).

Wish you well Frosty and hope you have finally had the op.


NDMz

[sidecar bob]

Time to call the media I say:yes: :Punk:

Go to it Jules, We know youre good for it.
the poor bastards will probably pass out when they see you coming with the NZ Herald & 20/20 in tow again.

[Blondini]

[jazbug5]

Hey, Mad Duck- can you tell Frosty that Jaz is thinking of him from over the water? Hope he doesn't have to stay in for much longer; he'll go insane with boredom- or drive the nurses insane, more likely!

I hope things work out with the new job as well. *fingers crossed*

[riffer]

Frosty texted me to say that he'd been interviewed for the telly.

Campbell Live has a story on tonight about overcrowding causing problems in one of NZ's largest hospitals.

Maybe he'll be on Campbell Live tonight? :mellow:

[Blondini]

I had nothing to do with this:nono: I hope the surgery went well:yes:

[Big Dan]

just finished watching Campbell Live and they were doing the story on Waikato Hospital it seems our Public Hospitals are not coping

[Deviant Esq]

It appears they didn't show his interview... no 15 seconds of fame for our Frosty. They were saying that patients were having to wait up to 12 hours for treatment. How long did he wait? 48 hours or more? Just beyond a joke really. I hope the operation went well mate. Kia kaha buddy.

[SpeedyGirl]

Hey Sweetie,
all the best babe, will have a hug waiting for you when i see you next :hug:

[Meekey_Mouse]

It was a huge relief to see you move on Sunday Frosty :yes:

Hope ya heal quick :rockon:

[Mrs Busa Pete]

They didn't get to do the interview with in 30 mins of them finding he was going to be interview they came and told him he was going for his op.
So to the person that did ring good on you i would like to buy you:apint: because that did get tyhe hospital moving

[El Dopa]

Got a text about 1/2 hr ago from Madduck.

He has (finally) had his operation and is out of theatre and in recovery. Groggy but everything went well, apparently.

I went in to see him at lunchtime, and he was sitting in exactly the same place (in the A&E foyer) as he was at 11.00 last night. 18 hours wait just in North Shore. 48 hours since he binned on Sunday at Taupo.

[sels1]

Best wishes Frosty, ya poor bugga, what an ordeal. Hope it all goes well from here on.
Thanks Madduck for the updates

[MadDuck]

Surgery was complete and he was on the ward at 7pm. Dont ask if the surgery went well cos I aint no surgeon but apparently took just under 2 1/2 hours.

He was heavily drugged and in and out of sleep so I left him to get some rest. He called me a "bitch" when I gave him some cheek so he must be ok :yes: .

The nurse said he would be there minimum of 24 hours. Now tomorrow is his birthday ...I can say that because it will probably come up on the front page. So he will be pretty damn miserable having to spend it in hospital.


No doubt the next update will come from the man himself. Albeit slow as he will be typing one handed for a while.

[DEATH_INC.]

Good stuff, on the road to recovery now. Wish Him all the best from me and Jen.

If you want to go see him visiting hours are 2pm to 8pm and hes in ward 7C. His phone will hopefully stay hidden tonight so he can get some rest.

Thank you for the updates on how Frosty is doing.
Much appreciated.


Frosty rest up and heal well.

Nah...a group of big hairy blokes in rugby gear would have had them running around like blu arsed flies trying to cater to your every whim...then you'd get the best ACC case manager who'd offer you home help, gardener, alterations to your home to make life easier for you...any drugs you need will be fully subsidised and you get paid 80% of your wage for as long as you like....just milk it for all its worth!

So next time ya fall off, make sure you get out of ya leathers and into rugby gear and you'll be sweet!

Why don't we all just race around in rugby patterned leathers??:dodge: :yawn: :no: :bleh:
We'd be right then!!:yes: :yes:

[BarBender]

Get better soon mate.

[MadDuck]

PLEASE do not go visit. They may be sending him home early afternoon. I am heading up there now.

If anyone wants any further info you can phone me on 0274 982 343. Dont phone him just yet.

[Swoop]

Sounds about right. Cannot have him taking up a bed in a public hospital to recover...:bash::brick: :brick: :brick:

ahh was that you that replied to my text this arvo? cool as...

[Macktheknife]

Gday all, after discussion with Frosty and MadDuck he has asked that anyone who visits does so with the knowledge that he will most likely fall asleep and have no memory of your visit, so bear that in mind. He is in good spirits and well medicated so he is feeling a bit better than he was, it would pay to text first if you want to drop in. Ward 7, room C, North Shore Hospital.

[MadDuck]

Today was a very long day. Seems the nurses wanted to keep him in for one more day due to that "charm" of his.

As for the 6 burly bikers (sorry Wendy not you) that turned up...He was pleased to see you all but all at once was kind of a strain. And the poor old dear in the bed opposite must have woken up and wondered what the heck was going on.

The bed on the other side of the room turned out to be another biker who has been on here a couple of times and knew who we were so an entertaining afternoon yakking about bikes kept me sane. Its a damn small world and what an amazing community we have here. :Punk:

He should be home tomorrow and given his memory wasnt the best today he got wished Happy Birthday ohhhhh about a million times.

[riffer]

Good on ya MD. He's a lucky guy to have you watching his back.

I'll talk to him later. Let him know young Tim's got an operation tomorrow so I'll be concentrating on that for the next couple of days then I'll catch up with him once we're over that.
