What a start to the year.....

Bad News:

The bastard that ran into my car, has fallen off the earth, I have now done a police report, so hopefully, they can find him. So I am liable for the excess, oh yeah they are going to fix my car (thats good news), but why should I pay the excess and why should the insurance company lose out on the thousands. 

Went to the GP, have been referred to a hand surgeon in Tauranga, he is top notch as the surgery is complicated. I have heard many good things about him, he also saw my son many years ago, with his Perthes hip problem, but he now specialises in hand surgery. The screws and plate they put in my wrist 7 years ago (when I fell of my bike), well one of the screws has been rubbing against the tendons and made them weak, so when I did weights at the gym, it snapped. No wonder it was a little sore. So surgery is required, what it will involve we will know more in the next week or two, hopefully I will get a relatively quick appointment. The doctor starts back at work on Monday, so hope to hear something in the next week or two. 

Surgery will require a splint/cast for about 8 weeks and then rehab to get hopefully full motion back in the hand. 


Good News:

The car is getting repaired......

I have one of the best if not the best hand surgeon in New Zealand doing my surgery 

And thats all I can offer for now.
