ACC is not invincible

[Edbear]

Don't say to much or she'll be out of a job

Yeah, I was going to put in a plug for her to management, but decided it may not be the best idea...

Most injuries heal up, and with my surgery, it is healed and stable The issues are due to the immobility of most of my spine and Cushing's Syndrome.

I have just got back from a physical asessment to establish a base line of where I am at. I am shattered! The exercises were simple and would be of no consequence to most people.

If you take a 100% figure as being fully fit for a man of my age, height and weight, I was assessed at 1%. Not a misprint, one percent! It was pathetic how weak and wobbly I am. Still, he reckons I can improve with physio, not sure how much or how long it will take, but he's recommending me for a treatment program.

For a man that is shattered you seem to have alot of energy for kb.

That's great Ed. Glad to hear you got there.

Our experience with ACC has been great. They have been very supportive and helpful getting Sharry better and back to work.

ED, well done mate!.
bucket, if you knew the half of it you'd still be NOT qualified to comment.
For me with a simple broken leg It took nearly a year of No income, no help of any sort to beat ACC and get paid out, Not enough to cover my expenses, but enough that ACC will never fuck with me again.
On ya ED!
Hope the drugs do exactly what they're're supposed to.
An don't stop, go them for the proper amount of compensation, you've paid into their screwed up scheme all your life, time you got what is rightfully yours, back.

aka "Rushing the job".

Talk to you in 20 years when the injury flares up again and she needs permanent treatment.....lets see if ACC cover her then or put it under:
"Pre-existing condition" for the reason not to pay you.

See what they don't tell you is every year your a different policy - so if you got messed up last year and the injury rears its ugly head again....I'm sorry who are you - that is clearly due to something that happened last year - aka pre-existing condition.

And people wonder how they make on average $1B PROFIT every year.

You have no idea what your waffling about champ. There was no rushing from ACC.

And the injury's will never be fully better.

Trust me when I say Buckey Boy is more than qualified to comment. I could list his injuries and the amount of times ACC have tried to fuck him over, but I would then have to submit a ACC claim form for OOS from the all the farking typing.

Try me - I have a reasonable list of fun bits.......but right now my problem is I am trying to help my father pay a $120,000+ medical bill for repairs on my father 20 years post his "ACC rehabilitation".

As for the injury not being fully better - ask yourself one question - what happens if it gets worse?
You think a broken bone is bad?

Bones cant be repaired that are no longer there. 2 medical missadventure cases. More surgery next year.

Cheap? I get them free! As much as I want. ..

I notice you didn't use the word 'need'.

Ha ha!

Acc wont want to do that,they want to find him a job he can sustainably do.

At the moment, they just want to know if I can improve. They know all about my business and what I've been doing for the past three years since the accident. That's another important point, be honest! Try to stuff them around, and you will be very quickly dealt to! Like IRD, if they think you are trying to do the right thing, they will do everything they can to help, but if they think you are trying to pull the wool over their eyes, well...

That's great Ed. Glad to hear you got there.

They were fantastic to me after the accident and couldn't do enough. They still need to sort the difference of opinion on the L1 fracture and the resultant fusion, and are paying me on the L4 fracture meantime.

ED, well done mate!.

Still got more to go, for sure. Meantime I will be able to recover a significant sum of the money I have invested in the business and it will allow me to do more to promote it. My poor wifey, who has seen all our cash go into the business, is relieved too, and today is handing in her notice to quit her job after ten years. Her body is telling her it is too old now to do what she's been doing. That is a wrench for her, as she loves her job and the children love her.

She will join me in the business, and possibly do another job she's well qualified for that is physicaly easier.

I notice you didn't use the word 'need'.

"Need", "want', all the same, as I want what I need and need what I want... I have tried every which way to reduce reliance on painkillers, but I'm waiting for an appointment with the pain clinic to see if they can suggest anything else.
