So I prob should be sleeping, but my Bloke was working on a roof and it collapsed underneath him. One of his vertibrae 'exploded' and a bit of it has broken off and is pushing on his spinal cord. I just spend 8 hours in the hospital - test after test after test. He'll need more tests tomoz to see just how bad it is, but they say at best he'll be out of action for up to 3 months! I guess he's retired a tad sooner than I'd thought! LOL The good news? Just got my all time motivation to get my business cranking!!! It's all up to me know - woot - nothing like a bit of pressure! I know this doesn't really have much to do with internet marketing - but as my family are asleep (along with everyone else I can talk to) I'm left with my warrior mates - hope you dont mind. |

Fingers crossed he did not suffer any lasting spinal cord injuries. Keep your head up |

My brother is a roofing contractor. Most people don't realize how dangerous that job can be. They earn their money and then some. Hope your guy has a full recovery.

As a person with a lower lumbar injury since sophomore year high school (sports) ... I can totally relate to what you and your guy are going through. Hopefully all things will come together nicely: your business ramps up to support you both and he heals well, but remains home to work the business with you. Best of luck to the both of you! |

yeah - i'm hopin he's gonna be just fine - he's the worst patient in the world when he's got a cold, but this'll render him completely insufferable! Someone at the hospital asked if I was gonna give him a bell - not bloody likely! LOL Trying to find the funny side ATM! I'm not really sure there is one! |

Oh dear Stef! Apart from wishing you and espcially your Bloke well, there's not a whole lot I can say. That bell now, that could be a classic Aussie tale...update us when you do get him one and he's had it a week! |

Heya Stef, Rough news... but the silver lining is that you both might need this to go to the next level. My wife and I hit a recent strong of "bad luck" that has forced us to speed up our plans and get serious about a few things that we had on the backburner. Of the few Aussies I have met, it seems like there is nothing like a challenge to get them moving! As for your SO, I will be sending him a Divine Healing... and I will send you an Intention Opening for your marketing efforts! Yeah - its a bit "woo-woo", but it doesn't hurt! I do know that you are on the right track, and that you should have NO problems getting things going. PM/email me sometime... perhaps we can work together on the Offline thing. Best regards! Ron |

Sorry to hear about the bad luck your having. Just have to hope for the best and pray that it happens. I agree with rlnorthcut about the silver lining though. Best of luck David p.s. I also liked the bell comment! |

hey folks - thanks for your support - it means more than you realise. Bloke will be stayin in for a couple of weeks - flat on his back, and not allowed to move at all. Now the nurses have to deal with the bell! I was up there yesterday for the day - went to get some lunch and ducked in quicky and quietly to get some chest pains looked at - apparently when you say "I have chest pains" there's no quick or quiet! 8 hours later I was allowed to go after a barrage of tests and needle stabs! Apparently I was having some kind of major stress/ anxiety attack - can't imagine why LOL All the while my kids and Bloke are wondering WFT! Moral of the story - if you're having chest pains - stay away from the emergency department LOL (I think that's the moral ??) The upside - it's gotta get better from here! |

Don't forget to take care of yourself too Stef! And I agree that the idea of the bloke-with-a-bell isn't a good one. Best wishes to you and your family. |

Stef, I'll be including you guys in my prayers - make sure you keep us updated on what's happening. I am glad to see you're keeping your spirits up, since I wouldn't want to see this headline: "Australian Man Has Bell Surgically Removed" |

Hey Stef, Caught this and just wanted to let you know I prayed also for your husband and the continued increase/success of your business. As much as a go-getter and 'rain maker' as you've already shown you can be, I'm sure the best is still yet to come. Doug |

Stef, Wishing you and your other half the best! It's better he stay in the hospital for 2 weeks than move around a lot and screw up his spinal cord. My nephew drove in a pool and caused spinal cord injuries at age 17 and was a c5 quad. Tell him to take it easy and relax, things will get better. Don't get yourself sick over all this, stress isn't a good thing and can cause more than chest pains. Just remember this all will pass in time. |

Wow! Spinal injuries, chest pains -- you and yours are having a busy week! I hope your Bloke gets all better and that you avoid any more pressing pain than having to lift a lot of money! BTW, had you considered giving him a bell without a clapper?! |

hehe - I hadn't thought about a bell without the clapper. When I was out today I also picked up a whistle - didn't think that was too good an idea either - got a mental image on where the nurses might insert the whistle haha He already got kicked out of one room this morning - his language was a little colourful when they moved him! |
