Unless they're married to you, of course...
Took a trip into Panmure yesterday to visit family but it was too much, too soon and I suffered a bit for it last night and today. It was a bit strange going past the crash site for the first time since the accident and sobering as well.
I'm glad it's not mid-summer though, wearing the body brace is a nuisance and would be horribly sweaty in the heat.
Friends called in for lunch the other day and cooked me up a feed of mushrooms!I love mushrooms but Jill can't stand them so I only usually have them when we go out for a meal.
I'm still getting pampered though and look forward to my shower and back massage each morning... (Where's the smiley for pleasure..?) I could get used to this kind of treatment.

Almost... I'm thinking a combination of:
The muscles each side of the fractured vertebrae get tense and sore and a shower and gentle massage is bliss!
I get reminded just how bad it is - I thought I could sit up in bed to eat breakfast but very quickly found it wasn't such a good idea... Not allowed more than 15 degrees without the brace on.
Using the crutches I can walk from lounge to bathroom and back but very sore by then even with such a substantial brace on.

Ouch! That's the trouble with being self-employed, you have to consider the risk to your business. At least I can work from home on the laptop having an internet based business. I'd be in the same boat as your brother otherwise! Plus I have something to do every day that keeps me occupied and feeling useful.
I'm going to ask ACC if they can give me more hours for my caregiver as after two weeks nothing has improved enough to cut her hours down, but I've only got 16 hours left to cover the next 4 weeks. I go in on the 23rd for the followup x-ray so should have some idea of progress then. I've lost a lot of weight and the 2-piece brace is now overlapping so far the velcro straps are almost too long. They may have to make me a smaller one!

Self employed YES it can cause big drama's.
I started my Buisness in 2004, and have Never paid myself a dollar, as I put it all back into the buisness for now. The trouble this caused me with my accident in 2007 was amazing really
Not paying mysely anything, also meant that ACC had no need to pay me either!
So NO income for me for neally 2.5 years, things have been tough, but I can finally see the light again.
My Wife has been the kingpin in re building my life, thanks Honey.

The saying goes that neccessity is the mother of invention and without the "safety net" of Govt. support, in this case ACC, you were forced to find a way to support yourselves. I admire what you and your wife have achieved by your sacrifice and hard work!
I too, am grateful to my wife while I have been investing so much time, effort and money into getting my business up and running. She has been the main earner and has gone without a lot to keep ourselves solvent. She is being a wonderful support to me now, too, uncomplaining and caring for me with
I'm not sure what I'll get from ACC as regards income compensation if anything yet so I await their judgement.

Quite frankly I think ACC sucks! For the amount self employed people pay in levies, when we need to use some of those levies, ACC may as well not exist!!
Anyone who is self-employed and manages to survive financially after an accident deserves much respect. My bro is a concrete layer... I just hope he sorts something out. It's great you are able to work from home Ed, but I bet that you aren't able to do anywhere near the hours you could before your accident. And that is where ACC need to pick up the tab. Whether you paid yourself a wage or not. I know that for years we haven't paid ourselves a wage and I know many employers who don't either. They put their money back into their businesses and pay their staff (oh, and the IRD! and ACC!!), leaving little for themselves. The system is so unjust.......

That's the problem with ACC is that when working out income compensation the rule is a very simple 80% of income. When self-employed we try to minimize our earnings for tax purposes and rely on the business covering most expenses. ACC have been fantastic in every other way and we should be grateful we don't have the US system here. Imagine having to pay ambulance, fire service, 16 days in hospital with all that involved... All if us would need to have expensive private insurance.
I'll have to wait and see what I get, though. It has been advantageous to be able to work from home even though as you say, I can't do as much, it has meant I can make some sales and keep the business alive by answering the phone and emails and it gives me something to do so I feel a bit useful.
The accident is going to change a lot of things and I think the outcome will be very positive. As long as I don't stuff things up by trying to progress too quickly.

Just got a nice letter from the Police. They have completed their investigations into the accident and have found that the road conditions at the time were the biggest contributing factor and that no further action will be taken. In other words I'm not going to be charged with careless driving causing and accident.
Very pleasing and vindicates my own explanation that it was a genuine accident over which I had no control.
