Not much Bayman 
Two weeks ago I almost collapsed with the OT . Then the social worker came told me I had to join a particular job network seeing work cover is over . I said but the trial for work cover starts August September .
So she said I can't apply 
I got told off by the gym therapist he was annoyed last week I had no therapy on Monday not my doing . He lectured me on being in the gym twice a week . Told me the head pain I'd had for four hours before gym started was due to a exercise . And while I was thinking WTF he lectured me on being in the pool I won't do I'm waiting on the ENT to tell me if they are operating or not .
So gym Wednesday was session three of the day it took me two buses to get home an hour longer to get back . Sitting down at 3 pm around an hour I had a head spin first one in weeks . Thursday morning before my home therapy began I was on the phone with a friend from Melbourne about 20 mins . I was standing in my back door looking outside next thing I knew I was falling down stopped myself from hitting the floor I was freaked out at the same time my friends phone blew up funny that .
I told that dats therapist about the head spin and fall and I thought I needed a break when I'm doing three or four therapy sessions . You must speak to your main therapist she was coming Friday .
Friday I was having two therapy sessions at home of course the main one cancelled she was sick . OT turned up I told her of the head spin and fall that's your diabetes I answered it can't be if I'm having high sugars I sweat like a horse if it's low I'm like an ice block .
I think it was my injury she would not here it . I had to walk to the library with her to do some stupid work simulation which makes me light headed and feel sea sick .
I then got a lecture on its time to join a job network again and I again said work cover oh but your therapy ends July 20 and I said the trial isn't until August September but you must join this job network . But your social worker said I can't until the work cover issue is finished . She kept going on I had to push through all the pain I suffer I must go to the library and do what she wants done as often as I can . Plus I can't sit on my laptop on the net for long 20 or 30 mins I got told that's not enough I said I used to do preaccident 4 hours I can't now cognitive issues . No you must spend hours on your lap top you must work through the pain that will make you stronger . She went on and on because once I join this job network I will be working on s computer for a job . 
So I was confused I will be working on s computer doing data processing .
Now how the hell they come up with this I have no idea . Early next month Tuesday week I'm seeing the ENT specialist to find out about my fourth CT Scan .
And the rehab doc wanted me to get three months for more therapy he refused to write a certificate I had to see my GP so i did my cert runs out exactly a year after my injury why these therapists don't know that is beyond me . And where they are getting my work cover is over I have no clue my lawyer says my employer can't be taking to them .
So there you go 
I got a gym therapist telling me off and getting my pain wrong 
Occupational therapist saying my diabetes is out of control its not 
Job network keeps coming up 
Rehab has pushed disability aside 
And I'm starting to apply for disability I'll have to see my GP after I see the ENT 
And my court case can't be soon my coworkers haven't text me so I can say I can't talk to cause my lawyers suggested I don't lol

Now if everyone's not confused I am .
I have no clue why the job network 
And I have no clue they refuse to accept the work cover trial hadn't been completed yet .

I also think I better talk to my lawyer and my advocate over this

Ok so I had the main therapist here today 
My head spin she was like the OT trying to tell me it was my diabetes bullshit . And my fall from an upright position to sliding down a door frame wasn't a fall but a near fall . We had to talk about my diabetes low blood sugars and high sugars waste of time my sugars are ok .
So my head spin she thinks is vestibular and catching four buses in a day is part of toughening my brain up to go to work .
I brought up a job network that surely I can not join one with the work cover court case coming up . And the fact that my employer had not fired me yet . 
So she will check into that I added in how does the occupational therapist know I'll be working on a computer after therapy finishes her very words .
Off she went to have a meeting about me

I have a question answered . My advocate called me to say she is leaving and the name of my new advocate . So i asked about therapy pushing me to a job network she contacted my lawyer in and email and he emailed to her she's emailed to me .
So I am technically still classed as employed by my employer and as the work cover case is still going I can not do paid work as it will affect my legal case. And I should be concentrating on recovery and rehab. Hr did say I could volunteer but i must concentrate on my health and rehab .
Take that govt run rehab

do they realize you haven't been able to eat for several months ?

Lol I've been eating just not Wednesday's for a few weeks .
That changes tomorrow main therapist said I can stop doing any one I don't need to do so I said meditation . That was for 8 weeks I've done 7 .
And from now on if the pains too bad I'll not go or go home early .
But every time I say I've had a head spin or fall oh that's your diabetes , even though they aren't doctors .
Just wait when they say job network again lol .
As my lawyer wrote right now it's about me getting healthy and rehab.
Going to paid work will put my case to the sword so to speak .
And really let's face facts I go to a job after an hour or three I'm collapsing that's not going to go down well .
After next weeks ENT appointment I'll contact my GP for disability

The other things 
1 I say work cover case rehab ignores me 
2 I say my head hurts or spins work through the pain so you can go to work 
3 disability they were told by Centrelink February I could apply . I was off the planet so to speak rehab said no 
4  diabetes yeah I had my fasting blood test after my accident not an issue 
5 these therapists say it's up to me but when I say ok I'll stop this for a break oh that's over an hour .
6 My employer called them and told them I'm getting info wrong since then every thing I've told my therapists is either wrong or taken with a grain of salt .
7 I got a lecture last Friday my occupational therapist gave me a lecture the things she is getting me to do make me light headed or feel sea sick . This 20/21 yo gave me a lecture I must go to the library every day after therapy do the things she's had me do to simulate part of my last job . And I have issues on my lap top my head goes yuk I feel awful after 20 or 30 mins . No you must spend hours you must push through the pain because when you join the job network you will be working hours on a computer . I asked yesterday where do you get I'll be on a computer no answer no clue .

And with all this they want me to live my life .
So soon rec therapy around an hour walk by the beach the guy is a **** wit .

Before I forget the two things I've said about joining a job network 
Besides work cover is I haven't been fired yet ,
So legally could I join a job network and do paid work according to my lawyer no .
And disability a state govt rehab organisation will not let you on disability . I've seen a 22 to stroke victim told you can work forced back to work . Rejoin therapy because his employer said no way are you are able to work .

It's all about out in the real world which is nothing like these people think it is

Ok I had therapy today he had two clients we went for a walk and stopped on the way back for a cuppa I had Tea.
But it was on my back this Rec therapist he is saying catch a bus to the beach to go for a walk . I've been walking the streets around Richmond oval . He then stated saying catching the bus will help you get work hard . I catch the bus four in one day to hampstead and to the RAH as I'm not allowed to drive again . But you should be catching the bus more often to other places I threw in that's a bit hard I have therapy at home at times it makes it hard to go places . Plus I don't feel like it but I didn't add that . He got to talking to his other client about doing something to get ready to work . Then he left and it's me again with we aren't saying what you should do . I said why am I being told I'll be working on a computer four hours a day . Because due to your injury that's the kind of work you could do not labour work ok I said . But that can't happen until after my industrial trial he was saying that's what is so frustrating you have to wait so long . Funny they are frustrated they want me doing anything so I'm off their books .
Seems next week cause I wanted breaks I now have two days at hampstead .
The trial is a pain more so cause I'm on the companies books which means I'm still employed by them .
As I said to him today it's just employers and insurers taking their time in case the worker gives up and they save money .
I still think if they said it was work cover I would be there doing light duties . Rather than telling my lawyer I can't return as I am a liability

And so you know being on a computer for a long time hurts my head but once again they ignore me and keep saying get work hard push through the pain .
I threw in don't tell me that I've been pushing through knee pain for 20 years that didn't go down well

I think it all boils down to they want me at a job network before july 20
my lawyer saying not until my trial is complete and my aim is to get healthy etc that is against what rehab wants done .
me collapsing and having head spins is not diabetes like they are saying

Election this week knock on their door

Yesterday's dick head therapist telling me my ear was ok that got to me he told me he hadn't seen my notes or my catscan told me I'm not seeing the specialist again . Funny I am next Tuesday lmao 
And I'd love to know how this place knows I'll be working on a computer for four hours a day .
Even me saying yesterday I can't due to my trial and I'm still employed by my employer nope you must work through your pain you must be work hard you should join a gym 
I am now at the stage of laughing me saying I want breaks has not gone down well **** them and if I'm in pain and can't do therapy I'll call them up .

This mob said live your life that's long gone 
They refuse to hear me **** them

Therapy actually said I don't need to be there . My time will be ending soon but couple of new things since legally well two legal reasons I can't apply to job network they'd like me to look up courses to study at WEA and TAFE this was the shrink she's worried cause I don't have plans she said anything else disability because they had said no She reckons she will ask mean while I'll see my GP after my specialist appointment see when I can get an appointment .
So look up something to study as a hobby 
And I'm still being told the pool the pool he doesn't accept my pain and my ear . Specialist Tuesday I'll ask can I not do the pool therapist said you have been medically ok'd not by the ENT I am worried I get head spins after riding the bus for an hour .
Sorry to go on they are pushing me thank god I have an advocate and a lawyer

Ok can anyone who is smarter than me explain why at 53 I need a plan . Why a plan needs me having a hobby excluding fishing and footy .
Why at 53 do I need to study why I don't get this plan my life was get up go to my low paid job for 8 to 10 hours five days a week why now must I have a plan and why study ,
I'm lost over this don't want to be a negative nelly

My lawyer is doing what they talk about bayman it's in court 
I legally can't talk to anybody from my employer 
Yes I can do stuff I like but I'm having therapy thanks to the gym twit complaining last week I had a free Monday this week 5 days either 1 session to 4 a day 
But at a guess what you and I like doing isn't good enough for these people .
Honestly if I was doing 8 or 10 hours work a day I wanna go home and rest not go do **** .
And yesterday three therapy sessions with a break the gym twit dragged me into the gym cause I was doing nothing . Ok this week no head spin but I was basically light headed or like sea sick feeling for three hours after I got home from my hour bus ride .

And so you know just because the Indian rehab doctor says I can do pool work I will not 
Be going in the pool how the hell that helps a head injury with one issue being my ear I don't have a clue . The ear had one of the fractured near the ear drum feels like a vacuum chamber in there all the time .

And study in school at 53 as a hobby why I don't get it

Oh and if I can Tuesday is my ENT appointment if this specialist will write a letter saying no pool I'll get him to .
**** tell me a rehab doc says I can then you wanna put me in **** off

Ok therapy session today was OT the girl tells me therapy is coming to an end and will finish July 15 basically they can't get me to do paid work until the work cover issue is resolved either it is or isn't . If I'm on work cover the back to my old job unless I get a pay out and they don't fight me in court I'm gone .
Now back to therapy it's finishing except the gym twit who still wishes me to attend twice a week or more at hampstead . My kids have said I gotta go .
Why must I do gym still if everyone else is ending go figure .

Ok I may call my advocate tomorrow after my main therapist has a meeting with me . As far as I know if it's not in therapy I don't have to do things . Yes I've been going for walks no I haven't been doing job simulation in a library and no I'm not doing four hours on my computer as instructed .
The latest two things 
1 study do a history subject
2 newest one I stay at the gym at the rehab centre until I'm ready to join a gym in my area .

If I don't have to I won't this stuff costs money 
And I was told no manual labor for 18 months

Ok today saw the main therapist there was a bit of therapists stopping because they can't do anymore until I'm in a job network they either finish this week or next week . I kept telling them work cover tribunal and court case they kept ignoring me or saying it will be work cover after the tribunal . Still here waiting for the court case .

But I was told I have three free days next week . And she threw in you can have two weeks leave if you want .
And the biggest thing you can not stay home and do nothing wtf how would they know .
I really don't get it but hey see what I feel like Monday

What I forgot I saw the specialist the ear section of my injury at this stage they will not operate .
Due to my brain injury but they will watch me down the track in case of an ear infection . There is brain fluid in the ear came through the fracture .

This did not please the main therapist she wanted to know is the ear the reason I still get head spins light headedness and balance .

Ok all I'm going to say I had a bad week Friday afternoon last week to Tuesday lunch time .
Yep I was at the footy I was there but I wasn't really there up top . I had pain fatigue memory issues thought it was the gym therapy that got shot down told take pills .
So I thought stuff it I've been a god soldier doing exactly what therapy have told me . When I've told them the truth head spins collapsing light headedness I'm told absolute crap .
It's time to see my GP see a specialist go from there .

Not much to say except someone is playing dirty 
I can not say much but no CCTV of me pre during or after my injury .
Suddenly one witness for my employer .
Now a doctor I have no idea who it is has sent a letter to my GP saying I was king hit from behind .
There's other stuff I won't say 
But I'm contacting my advocate who will contact my lawyer .
Suddenly dirty tricks to my GP who I've been honest with its now a dirty contest 
And no doctor has ever said I was king hit
