Rob I had a something similar a few years back and had the drain in for a week and yours was worse than mine.
Walking around with this tube comin outta my hip and caring a bottle with it.
Good luck mate... and the green slip is very interesting. I had my suspicion , now its confirmed.

Good luck. Hope all goes well.

I was curious, so did a bit of googling about the at-fault driver cover on greenslips and found this:

http://www.greenslips.com.au/green-slip-comparison.html
A list of the green slip providers that offer at-fault driver coverage. Followed by a list of the exclusions for each of these providers. EVERY SINGLE ONE of them exclude motorbikes:

Notable Exclusions from At Fault Driver Cover (bolding mine)

Goods carrying vehicles with a gross vehicle mass greater than 4.5 tonnes

CIC Allianz:

Goods carrying vehicles with a gross vehicle mass greater than 4.5 tonnes

Looks like motorbike riders can just go and fuck themselves as far as at-fault cover options!

Even for cars I think most at-fault greenslip cover is only for things like loss of limb, loss of eye, or otherwise permanent disability. They don't cover anything you might actually need for a 'normal' accident.

That looks really bad Nelso, and sorry to hear you were at-fault - makes the whole thing worse if you can't blame someone else. Everyone's said everything else already so the only other thing I'll repeat is good luck
ty

It happens to the best of us Nelso.

All the best for your recovery.

Good luck with the op mate and hopefully while they're at it, they can pretty you up a bit.

I'm only going in overnight Dave so I can't imagine they'll make much of an improvement in that time.

Cheers for the well wishes everyone. Kick off is at 1.30, pregame entertainment at 12.30 so nothing to eat after 6.30am. I have to set the alarm so I can have breaky. No net for me in the chop chop factory so I'll catch ya's in a few days.

[quote="Nelso"] Tinny, how do you do it so well?

Hey Nelso hope you get well mate!

And as for crashing pratice makes perfect but would not advise to do it my way 2008 was crash practice year 2009 for quicker times and hopefully get some trophies

let us know how you get on tomorrow

I hope everything goes well for you

Good luck with it all and be thankful the subdermal haematoma is not in your groin like mine was!
Makes it easy to drive a manual car
Not the result of a bike accident though.
Your a lucky lad so just relax and enjoy the resulting vacation mate
Cheer's
Oh and alcohol thins the blood well

Mate at least your in with a shot at the "Wes Cooley Award" this year....go hard Nelso

Sorry to hear bout your misfortune Nelso. That sux!
I'm glad you are OK tho - that's the main thing. I hope all goes well and you have a speedy recovery! Cya on the road soon hey!

Back in the old days Nelso they probably would have prescribed a course of leeches to suck out the bad blood, dunno what'd be worse, a shitload of leeches sucking on ya or some dude slicing you open to do the same job.. good luck with it though.
