My GP sent me for a 2nd CT scan of my spine as he was worried that my back or spine was unstable. Results are good showing slight healing in some areas & the fracture hasn't got any worse. Any way that's what I got out of all of the technical staff he was talking about.
Well based on that....don't let a RnT girl near it would be my advice.

I hadn't heard from RP Spinal Unit so I rang them on Thursday, they had the referral letter & all of my details from Fiona Stanley so I asked when is my appointment going to be as it has been 6 weeks since I was assessed at Fiona Stanley, was then told that my referral has now been sent to Sir Charles Gardner Neurosurgery Unit, thanks for not letting me know I said. So I rang them & was told I am on a very long waiting list .

So 2021 is not looking good at the moment for me but for most of this week I have been able to stay on my feet longer, can walk a bit further, saw the doctor yesterday about my ribs, all okay just bad bruising, doctor said you must have fallen hard as he said he could still see the imprint of the milk crate on my ribs. So I said doc I'm 95 to around 100 kilo at the moment depending on which scale you believe so that weight alone would make it a hard fall, but happily I don't remember passing out , just waking up with sore ribs.

Today I received a phone call from Centrelink as I had applied for a Disability Pension to help me through this period before I can go back to work, I have been knocked back on the grounds that they haven't got a medical assessment from a Specialist, a GP letter is good to send but only one letter from my GP has been sent, so I told him I'm on a long waiting list to see a Specialist at Charlie Gardner Hospital, he then said that I had 13 weeks to get more medical data on my back injury, he went on to say the pension is more to do with people with a permanent disability.
As far as I am concerned I don't know what the outcome of my back injury is going to be. I was told by Centrelink that I may be entitled to claim the entitlement, now it looks like I'm not. I would have thought being a born & breed aussie paying taxes for most of my life that their would have been some sort of financial assistance there for me getting injured at home.
The Australia Government can give millions & millions of dollars away overseas & at home but there is nothing for people like me who had a unfortunate accident at home moving a wardrobe in a shed & it's our tax payers dollars they spend, what about us.

Could be worse I suppose I went to a funeral yesterday, a young man who I am friends with committed suicide by hanging himself , he was only 35 years of age, I used to baby sit him & his 2 brothers years ago, know the family really well, very sad day yesterday, hard to understand why he did it.

Hello everyone my nerve pain has now settled down quite a lot which means that I can stay on my feet a lot longer now, still get pain but now I seem to be able to tolerate it a lot better. So nice to be able to sit at a table to eat meals rather than laying on the floor.

My ribs are good as well with the bruising now gone from when I fell down after blacking out after doing some gardening, also got some good news from the Hospital, I've got my blood sugars back to normal so all I need is for my back to repair itself so I can then be considered for Heart Surgery.

Really need to see the Spinal Specialist real soon as my blood pressure is to low at times which is why I blacked out, I hope I don't run out of time.

I appreciate the thoughts of everyone but I'm just an old horny guy sharing my experiences for a bit of fun & banter.
When you suggested that I get my own thread I sort of panicked a little because it threw me a bit, just like to post a bit if you know what I mean, besides I don't believe I deserve any more praise than anyone else who writes politely about there experiences.

I had some bad news on Wednesday from my Heart Surgeon at Fiona Stanley, he told me that after viewing the Echo Cardiogram that I had some weeks ago that I will need to have open heart surgery to replace one of my valves, some tests to have first but it will happen in the next month or so, didn't expect that news but he told me that I will be dead in 2 years if I don't have it done soon, still okay to keep punting for a while, so it must be good exercise for me.
Snowy I had a quad bypass recently and it was an experience. You will need to take care after during the recovery and may need a driver to get you to your favourite places. All the best with it champ.

It's true about hidden Gems , they are out there & I think I have found one, only problem is I can't do a review on her at present, her request, because she is worried that a review on her would attract some nasty customers, so I will respect her wishes, so looking forward to seeing her next week at ?

She said she does fs, but not with everyone & it was that time of the month for her, we had a good conversation for about 15 to 20 minutes after my hour was up, really nice young lady & to be completely honest I don't care if she doesn't do fs with me, probably slightly smitten with her, but she is just so nice to spend some time with, excellent massage, good looking, sexy body with or without clothes on.

Hey Snowy,

I'm a new punter and I just have a few questions.

1) Do you prefer going to AMPs over privates? If so why?
2) Do you prefer AMPs like TBC over brothels like Langtrees? If so why?
3) What are your thoughts on 370 South St AMP?

Don't have to answer them if you don't want to, just thought I'd ask the most experienced member on this forum.

Not a problem thanks for the questions,
1) Never been to a private, but there's no reason for that, just comfortable with the AMP's at the moment.
2) Yes I do prefer the AMP's- TBC is a favorite of mine, to be honest, Langtrees is just too expensive for me compared to the AMP's.
3) I like 370 South St- but it is a Fs parlor not a AMP, same as PS&MC now known as Foxy's, also on South St- 370 has the best line up of Asian Ladies that I have ever seen, & if they had a better building to work from I would go there more often.
Thanks for the compliment but I'm not the most experienced member on this Forum, I just post a lot & sometimes I don't know when to stop. lol.
