wow…talk about filling you with confidence 
best of luck…i was off sick for 2 months this summer myself.
back now and it’s like i never left.
I was just trying to make the point that hernias can be serious and shouldn’t be lightly over looked or left for another day/month/year, but it seems the OP is thankfully aware of that.
well have been to the docs and he says 4 to 6 mths for op on nhs or next week privately cost £1k to £2k waiting to hear from kbr and ins company
Stuh has plenty of dosh neil, tell him hes paying :laughing: Hope you get well soon How manys that in the sick club then?
Me+?
bet the kbr medic said ‘’ drink more water!!!’
take care mate,
just had a lad come back off medical thru houston, he said they had 400 drivers goin thru the system with him.
i hope they hurry up the exchange rate adds another £1000 tax free to my pay
can i have your job while your off??
well off to the consultant in the morning hopefully have op next week.had the good news from insurance company thye are paying for all the medical bills.
they are also paying me $1200 a week which at the moment is just over £800 a week tax free.
Some good news then
When my son had his it was less than 4 weeks for the op but he was 9 weeks old at the time
I am still on the sick JB you joined me think I am the longest ( March 07 )
