Bunnie:
cheers guys your thoughts are welcome... and i hope you all get better soon :)

i do want the whole thing over and done with but i dont wanna feel like im being shoved under the carpet which is what i felt with there first offer.

various people have said to me that i should be looking @ the £4/5K mark for injury alone. it is all very confusing for me and mum n dad cant beleive im still carrying on with it all.


its like i want a little person in my head that knows everything to tell me what i need to do all the emotions just sorta come flooding back and i take steps backwards rather than continuing my exersises and using my arm properly and at least attemting to lift full 9 gallon barrels!

Just keep on with your exercises, write a story if you like about your daily tasks, and how the accident effects your daily life in every way you can think of. It's a bind, but it has helped me in a massive way!! to get across to the insurers/solicitors just how things are because of the accident. Mentally and physically. once you have done this up to date you then just add to it as you come across any new things at a steady pace. this has given me the ability to concentrate on going to hospital 4 times a week for hydrotherapy/ physiotherapy, and pain therapy.
I am not trying to out do you on injuries please don't think that!!
My life was turned upside down 5 months ago by my accident and at first I was so depressed but, knowing I was getting my feelings and my point across by just writing it all down and handing it to the solicitor has helped big time. KEEP COPIES!!! Just think that if you accept their offer you still have your injuries to live with, as they have accepted liability they should be helping you to recover too. Ask for hydro if you are not already getting it it works fantastic!! Hope this helps you!! 8)  8)

Bunnie:
God no i wouldnt think you were trying to out do me what so ever. Im happy to have the advice.
im not a very 'emotional' person as it were.. everyone around me could prob say how ive been affected by this more than me , although i do have a tendancy to hide my feelings :( but as most things do they eventually catch up on you. the thing is i dont wanna have to wait till this time next year to know if i am actually fully recovered... there first estimate of 7 to 9 months was total rubbish.

im gonna be driving the zuki gain from next week so i shall try and keep a note of how im doing.. its gonna be like learning to drive again, esp as i still have very nervous driving days :()

may i possibly ask what happend in your accident?

I was guiding my boss on to the MOT ramp he was driving a 1968 ford Mustang, as he revved the engine to get the rear wheels on the ramp and the brakes failed!! :shock:  the car came over the edge of the ramp and pushed me through a wall. The bumper bar got me just above the knees badly crushing both my femurs, and causing massive nerve damage. I was around 8 min's from death with the blood loss, and now I have to learn to walk again. after my bones eventually heal I have more surgery to go through as they are not healing :cry:  :cry:. my left femur is in 30 odd pieces and the right is the same. me and the missus both lost our income over night as she is now my carer. it is a very trying time at the moment but I won't let it beat me. I have metal bars holding my legs together now, but I was still helping out with the engine swap on my 90 over the past few weeks. :D  :wink:
And my emotions get to me regularly, I cry a lot sometimes I don't know why it's just the situation I think. but I have been back to the w/shop since feels a little wired. I don't know if I have a career any more :?  so I may have some more learning to do besides walking!!

i watched recently an eposode of traffic cops i think it was, the recovery guy they used lost both his legs in a horiffic accident while doing a routine breakdown on the motorway. he been walking on artifical legs for 2+ years.. so if he can get on and do it im sure youll be back playin in and with cars in no time :) i do wish you luck in your recovery
