Edbear in hospital

[Headbanger]

Yes I will be reading out a list when I see him on Saturday...

Hey mate, Give him and his Mrs my regards and best wishes.

Hang in there Ed, all will be good in the end..

I heard back from Jill last night. Poor Ed still on oxygen mask and in lots of pain understandably, so can't talk. Dissappointing to see the hospital stopping her from being there outside visiting hours. Usually spouses can access them anytime, especially if they need care.

That is not good news at all. Jill must be beside herself not being able to be with him the whole time. Sounds like it's going to be a slow recovery. Thinking of him. Hope they are making him as comfortable as possible.

Yeah, when I was in hospital my family could come in anytime. The girls were wonderful, showering Mommy (well I was too friggen sick to manage myself at the time). I think I will have to give Jill an injection of Mom attitude

Ah bugger, top bloke, all the best for a speedy recovery Edbear from the Martybabes. x x

At first I thought "self employed plumber" ! What terrible bad luck!

But then I thought.......ACC.............all will be taken care of, he has paid out millions to them over the years!

What sacrifice Ed, this will be a great opportunity for us to see how ACC really works for the self employed who have to make a claim.

Get well soon Ed and thank you for making the effort to promote the benefits of ACC, you make me feel so humble!

Your fellow motorcyclists will be following your case very closely and will be prepared to eat copious amounts of humble pie at the end of the day too!

My friend Nick Smith sends his best wishes also. Cheers, John.

Seriously though Ed, what a bummer, hope you get well quickly, best wishes from the oldriders!

Dad had to claim ACC at one stage - self-employed. They took the last 6 months? earnings into account and he got paid out less than $100 per week. Not sure of the amount any more, but remember it was a joke and he explained to me how they'd come up with that ridiculous amount. He made more than that a day usually.

best wishes Ed, and definitely not good timing for you. Hope things work out, I saw how excited you were about the new company finally being up & running (almost), and now this. You've also got a fantastic wife there supporting you. (no, you've not met me, I've just read your thread about the business).

Yes there is not much point in being beside yourself when you want to be beside someone else.

Sounds like the nurse used to work for ACC.... deny deny deny.

Went to see Ed today...
Ward 75.
With what hes been through, its fair to say that hes seen better days for sure.
The painkillers have control of his alertness bless em'.
The torso brace/amour looks uncomfortable.
Anne got the stand fan going on him while we were there, and the wet face cloth on his forehead.
I read out the names of the well wishers, had to do it quietly incase the lady nextdoor thought I was reading out a Mafia Hit List....

There was an article in the Herald about the crash, shows a pic of the vehicle, they had to cut the roof off to get him out. The Vehicle was on its side.

[scumdog]

Get him well enough to be on KB, he missed already....

And I hope he has a 100% recovery.

[Mom]

He was saying they thought he might be sent home middle next week. Hope he feels shed loads better by then, he did not look anything like fit for home today that is for certain.

Hey that sounds like serious shit, I underestimated his predicament from the opening descriptions, hell Ed get well soon man, god speed!

[GOONR]

Edbear,

Hope you get back to 100% fella, take care.

He did open his eyes a couple of times John When we got there, he was asleep but the bloke opposite said he responds to voices (hell dont we all?....) so I spoke to him. He had the oxygen mask on all the time, very slurred speach but like I said, drugs, and what hes been through? understandable.
