That's interesting... Was it a car accident? I got hit by a drunk driver in early February 2000...

No I was a technician doing a job in a Tsco supermarket and fell down a metal stairway which was covered in flour from the bakery
I injured my spine. There is an operation that could be done but the risk is quite high for bvious reasons.
If I take things easy I am not too bad, but if I start walking a lot or try lifting I end up in bed for ays
After 3 years of litigation Tesco admited liablity and settled out of court.
They even had a private investigator following me and filming me for over 3 months to make sure I was genuine.

Jimbo;
Very sorry to hear about the details surrounding your back injury. I rememeber that you posted about it vaguely once before; I had no idea it was so serious.
I've got a buddy that has a bad back. (Got it while in the Air Force - he was a jet engine mechanic!) He ended up having TWO separate disc fusion operations on his back. Didn't help a bit with the pain either time. He's permanently disabled now. (Major bummer)

Me too. I hope you are well taken care of by the settlement. I know money isn't a replacment for an active lifestyle, but as long as it makes you comfortable... Do you get paid for the Disco? I'd love to be able to do shows for money. I'd love to be able to do something I love for money...
Yes I get paid, the place is quite at the moment so I only get £100 for 4 hours, once it picks up I will get paid more.
With the settlement it was ok but I would rather not have had the accident
Jim
That's pretty good, especially to do something you like. That's more than I make at work, even without the currency difference...
Definatly, no injury is seen as a good thing, but it is good that you are taken care of. I try to look at the positive in things, although I observe a lot of negative also. Are there any up and coming treatments that will help your injury?
Unfortunately not :cry:
