Yes Rick I have had an accident. On 25th March I took a nose dive off a motor bike and dislocated my right sholder and bruised my ribs on the left side. I have now started phisio and in two weeks I find out if I can lift my arm above sholder hight again. All part of the fun of cttle mustering.

Gee, that's no good Robert. Hope you get better soon. Dislocations are a real pain, (no pun intended).
One of the shipwrights I worked with at the Paynesville Slip-yard quite a few years ago, hurt his shoulder at work and went off on compo. He was sent to a specialist a couple of months later still on compo and with an unimproved shoulder. The specialist asked him how far he could lift his arm. He lifted it to just below shoulder height. He was then asked how far he could lift it before his accident and he raised his hand above his head. Guess who was back at work the next week. Anyway take it easy and do the exercises. Regards Rick.

Greg's first week of work has been eventful. Another worker decided to teach him how to use an oxy cutter and started to cut the top out of a drum, Greg was going to finish the job. Unfortunately not all safety procedures were used and the drum blew up leaving a hole in the wall and the worker with burnt armes. Greg had ringing ears for two days and had to be interviewed by his boss, work cover and the police. Other than that he likes it there but finding some of the work heavier than he expected.

There are definite procedures about sending drums out for decontamination before using that sort of gear - I would imagine the company will have some explaining to do.
Glad Greg is OK.

Sorry to hear that Rob, I know how painful it is, and how frustrating life can be with one useless arm! I'm sure you'll regain full use in time though. I've dislocated mine plenty of times when I was young, mostly on footy fields and ski slopes. It's probably the worst pain I've ever experienced, but it disappeared as soon as it popped back in. In the end I figured out how to do it myself on the field, mainly because I wouldn't let the medicos near me! However it got so loose in the end I needed a shoulder reconstruction, and another one at the age of 40 when I tried to play footy again! Pain and muscle wastage was horrendous after those ops, but each time I regained full use and strength in time, so I'm sure your's will come good too.
