That stuffed it, completely

Lol, yep....parrot to come

Well I didn't think I'd be laughing a page and a half into this thread. I was wrong. Gotta love KB.

All the best dude.

Sucks to hear that.

I've got a one legged uncle and a good mates dad told the doctors to chop his leg off when they found cancer. Both have ridden motorbikes since. Both can walk without crutches. So here's hoping you'll be walking soon and life will get back to normal.

At least your motorbike hasn't cost you an arm and a leg like the rest of us (they started it).

you can save money on shoes

Nah. Still got to buy them in pairs. Socks though ...

Won't give a shit about all the lost ones eh.

WTF is it with socks. I put a matching pair in the washing basket. One comes back - the matching one either never turns up or takes three weeks to arrive.

It's getting to the point where I might even considering doing my own washing! That's pretty radical.



Hey - one positive - disability parking. You'll get the best friggen park right next to the door each time.

WTF is it with socks. e.

Always the left ones eh!

There would be some fun in going to a clothing store and asking for one trouser...

Seriously though, such bad news. All the best for the future.

[Dogboy900]

Well FUCK!
Sorry to hear this, hope you are coping OK. It is a sobering message for all of us.
Can't say any more than the others: Recover well and take care, don't be afraid to ask for help talking about and coping with the emotional side of things either, because that shit has got to be a massive mind fuck!

just be mindful of this. Everyone's disability is different, and 50% of recovery is in your head.
Don't suffer unneedingly, but also don't be too quick to jump on the "im a useless cripple" bandwagon.

[Laava]

Sorry to hear your bad news mate. On the bright side, apparently the role of Tarzan is worth auditioning for!

[5150]

Sorry to hear that dude. Hope the recovery goes quick.

Finally you can milk the ACC back for all the expensive rego's you had to pay over last couple of years

...and also listen to this, speaking from experience. His head recovery is ongoing.

PS: what is unneedingly? or did you mean needlessly?

[caspernz]

Sorry to hear of your life changing event. A positive state of mind will be your best friend, the KB crew will be both help and hindrance in that aspect I'd say...

Good to see your sense of humour didn't get amputated. So once you're healed up I'm guessing a trike or a Spyder will be the go...

[OddDuck]

Was shocked to read what happened. Bugger. Hang in there mate.

[Paul in NZ]

Fuck that's bad news dude.

None of the rest of us are immune from even very deep shit either, and there may very well come a time we might need some help. So if you need anything paying forward then ask, eh?

Ditto...

(good post btw)
