    Make sure you keep a record of all expenditure, including taxi fares, transport costs, phone calls, everything that may have come from your pocket, including expenses incurred by your wife traveling to see you and looking after you.
    Keep a diary of all treatment and names of all medical people.
    I can see a workers comp. claim coming, good records are essential. Hopefully there was a witness to the idiot driving the forklift.
    Anyway, your recovery is the most important thing, and that nothing serious has been done to your innards.

    Can't agree more, it really helped me when I broke my leg in a work accident 10 years ago.

    Looks like the rest of the year off, no heavy lifting / twisting / not too much bending, all light duties.

    SWMBO recons the definition of light duties are: washing up, sweeping, vacuuming, I know what I can get her for Christmas...... a new dictionary!!
    This isn't too good for an older gent at all BUT worse for the forklift driver "DANGERS DRIVING CAUSING GRIEVOUS BODILY HARM" .....
    Get well quickly good friend and just remember a poorly done chore can have good results....lol.
    Cheers crowie

    Some turkey did in one of my ribs.

    It was an eye-opener how hard it was not to laugh or cough.

    Every time you breathe in think of the clown on the forklift and then think how much worse it could have been. Get well soon.
