| 1139472 | 2010-09-25 11:48:00 | I've known a few people who've had to suddenly change career because of something like this. Sometimes ACC is truly there to help, they'll look after you, get you back on your feet so you can keep working, other times they just fob you off. It's a real gamble. 26 years experience isn't something you can just give up on. Any chance of a less-physical (read 'management') job in the same area? Or what joncar said, teach. |

| 1139473 | 2010-09-25 18:44:00 | Although they paid for the original fix and the year of recovery this time so far they aren't having any part of it, they turned me down for a progressive claim, which is why I need to see the surgeon see if he can persuade them otherwise. I keep the caving stuff far from their prying eyes. I have stopped over winter and not going to re start until I get the all clear if ever. Not self employed unfortunately Be careful what you say because someone from ACC could be watching these forums. :) |

| 1139475 | 2010-09-26 04:27:00 | Teaching could be an option. I did a night class in welding and metalwork and the teacher (who was also the technology teacher at the school) was an ex Navy fitter and turner. | Tony (4941) | ||
| 1139476 | 2010-09-26 05:40:00 | This is for osteoporosis, spinal compressive fractures, spinal stenosis, peripheral neuropathy, Chronic/Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, arthritis, detached retinas, fractured pelvis-unresolvable, broken-unresolvable left hip and a few other minor things. That will be a tough case for me to solve if it is presented as a pharmacotherapy test question. :eek: |

| 1139479 | 2010-09-26 15:35:00 | That will be a tough case for me to solve if it is presented as a pharmacotherapy test question . :eek: Most of it is un-resolvable anyway - all I try for is to drop the pain levels to an acceptable level . I eat aspirin like candy and then I get reflux and need to stay on Prevacid - so I resort to Vicadin/Tramadol with their 'inherent' problems --- and it just goes on and on . Then I am on an IV with Alondranate for the osteoporosis as a 'chemo-therapy' -- it never ends . Some days (on a scale of '1-to-10') I am in an '8', but most times I just idle along at a 5-6 or so . If I walk/stand too fast - I see pyrotechnics (lack of oxygen), and if I turn on my left foot I get a horrible 'crunch' from my left hip - and the tunnel vision causes me to have to LOOK at things to notice them since I lost most of the retina in my right eye and 20-25% of it in my left . I have acute central vision though and don't need/require glasses to read or drive at all . I doubt that there's any one or two pills that can cover all the basses . |

| 1139481 | 2010-09-26 19:51:00 | Currently on Diclofanac to get me through the day take it every morning despite the rumours that it is not good for you I have to have something, tried going without it over the weekend Big mistake Been on it for nearly 15 years now, taking the slow release tabs at 150mg (2x75) daily. I had a real bad accident 30 years ago and am paying the price now. Voltaren/Diclofenac + Panadol make the day livable for me. I nearly died at the time, so the alternative is far better and I wake up and smile each morning! The choice was, maybe a shorter life, but better quality, from taking the drugs, or a miserable life and live longer. It was my choice with backing and monitoring from the medics. Keep taking them, but keep being monitored. Your Dr. will prescribe Losec if he feels it is necessary. Ken :2cents: |
