    Excellent. You got your bike back. Good news indeed. Onwards and upwards girl.

    Thumbs up

    Seriously. DO, make sure the frame and forks are straight. It will involve getting someone with expert knowledge to look over it and it could involve putting it all on a frame.
    Once that's done Katiepie, Go for your life girl.
    Good to hear how you are doing and that you are getting time without at brace at all. That is a big improvement.
    Little steps Katie, but keep taking em, aye.
    Every day above ground is a good day!:

    Again. Whatever you've been advised ACC will support you until your doctor says you're fit for work.

    If ACC are telling you differently then you should ask for clarification. If there's a problem then tell us what that is, there's a few here aware of how the system is supposed to work.
    Go soothingly on the grease mud, as there lurks the skid demon

    Unfortunatly it's the doctor thats the problem, not ACC. The said I was fine to go straight back to full time work on the same day as the halo removal. Can't drive but apparently good to go thanks to my previous job title. I'll soon be leasing with my private GP rather than the hospital so hope they can see I'm no where near up to full strength yet with next to no energy.

    Apart from that, gotta get back it when I can. Bugger sitting round home all day every day for much longer. Too bad about the pain or lack of movement - I want to earn an honest living again

    THEN ... speak with a POSSIBLE employer ... in a company that should/could hire you with your qualifications/experience ...

    Explain YOUR situation ...

    They may agree to hire you ... on a limited hours employment if necessary ... or write a letter to your Doc, explaining how they feel about your readiness/asbility for work ...

    Please don't freak out just yet ... but get people that ARE qualified to speak on what you are able to do ... do so.


    Neither ACC or your Doc ... seem so qualified ...

    Sounds tolerably bizzare.

    Good move. He has a lot of say, being your primary health supplier.

    Can you give us an idea what sort of work you're looking for?

    There are no jobs in my industry with my skills and specialties. It's a small industry that I have been in for 11 years now so will be making a full jump into a new career elsewhere.

    Don't worry - No one is freaking out just yet. Prepared to put in some seriously hard yards to get back to where I need to be.

    Have begun to apply for work in offices, recpetion, dealing with the public etc. Will see where it gets me.

    No worries. Will be just fine in the long run I know. Believe me, i'm not complaining, just stating a few facts. It will be a full while untill I am back to full health again and I would have love to have found a job that involved the huge physical side with heavy lifting that I had. Alas, that is not possible for the next year or so, so keen as beans to see what new skills I can learn.

    Just super excited about getting back to every day life again. Some good challenges ahead, and challenges are making me stronger so it's a win win

    And there'in lies the key to a life of self-supporting ...

    Have you thought about getting into Sales? with your positive attitude you could go far..
    Experience......something you get just after you needed it

    Vicki and I wish you all the luck in the world. We have followed your progress and it was nice to meet you on the 'wood' day...

    If we can help in anyway please let us know. I'm reasonably able at reviving bits of bent bike ;-)

    Um - errr.... Look, this wont win me any friends but personally I'm not so thrilled about your jumping back onto that R6 to ride down south (I have my reasons) but fully support your decision. We all hear the music differently and have our own demons to slay and no one else can do it for us.

    If you need any genuine Yamaha bits - you might want to try the guys in the USA I used for Hels FZR? Fab prices, reliable delivery.

    You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to Paul in NZ again.
