Shane.
This is a chance to do a training course, or update your skills, your local library may be able to give you a list of training modules available or books to read. Eric.

Shane

Plan your next big trip.
Watch 4wd video's.
Spend some quality time with the kids.
Read a book - when d'ya get time to do that with kids.
Do some financial planning for the future.
Study up on how to save energy, water etc – reckon it will all be costing so much more in the future.
Prepare detailed instructions on how exactly you break your foot for me - I need some time to do some of these things too.
Watch the footy, world cup rugby, cricket…………

Best wishes JD

Shane,

Broke my pelvis about 14 years ago, and spent a month in bed. Not a lot of choice on satellite TV in those days, so afternoons were the worst. Read a lot of books in that month too.

Because we live on the job, always had plenty of other book work to do.

Cousin & his wife brought my ol' fellar up from NSW, so had at least one waiter @ smoko, and a couple of blokes to talk to.

Otherwise do as little as possible, to let it heal well.

Get some crutches from local hospital, for a bit of mobility.

Congratulations on new bub,

Hooroo...

I had 3+ months with a busted leg and busted bone in my foot - wrote a book during that time on my family history. I had the material and it was something that I was going to do but never had the time before then.

Also having a laptop, wireless around the house and a good broadband cap helped pass the time along with Foxtel.

After 3 months, flew top NZ for a short contract to earn some $$, flew back to Melbourne, picked up the Troopy that we had in storage there and drove back to Brisbane, still on crutches. Did get a cruise control fitted before I left Melbourne though.

The leg is now OK but the foot is still bad - 2 1/2 years later so I hope that you have more success than I have had with my foot.

Hmmmm, 2 weeks to fill in.
1. Could get some spelling books to stop the word nazi's whinging if you should ever make a typo.
2. Fit a bullbar to a wheelchair and head off to the local shopping plaze to play dodgems with the pram pushing bullies.
3. Design a safe step system for clumsy truckers, and receive a government safety grant.
4. Mix your favourite drinks with lots of pizza, throw up on canvas, and sell it to the art gallery for a fortune.
5. Get a friend to go to the RSPCA, raid thier bins for the euthanised cats, skin them, make a fur coat for the new mum.
6. Use a hand held CB and listen to the mindless moronic dribbling idiots on channel 7
7. Grab some threads and a needle, and crochet new seat covers with scenes of past trips.
8. Listen to parliament question time on the radio, and make a report on how few questions are actually answered by these paragons of virtue.
9. Call random phone numbers, put on a fake Indian accent, and mention the word Telstra in the first mumbled sentence, and see how many times an hour you get get verbally abused.
10. Fill out the puzzle's in the womans magazines, win heaps of breadmakers and mixers, take them to Cash Convertors to swap for pretty wheels for the Cruiser.
I'm sure athers could add to this list if you run out of ideas.
Cheers, congratulations (on the baby), and good luck (with the foot)

Shane, the first job is to sort out things into proper perspective -

That means informing the missus that childbirth is an everyday event for thousands of women, and is what they were put on earth for, so doesn't warrant special consideration.

After you have re-established the pecking order, you can re-inforce that a broken foot is a pretty uncommon event, and the natural nurturing skills of your lady need to be aimed in your direction, to bring beer, panadol, compassion, etc frequently throughout the day and night. Let's face it - she's awake for the baby anyway, so getting you a sandwich shouldn't be a burden.

Now you will have the time required to focus on repairing your foot, and trawling the online databases for a new partner......:)

Lucky me, I only sprained my ankle on Sunday.

This is my first sprain and I have never had a break.

Slave has been cooking for me, including my birthday tea :-)


Mrs s

Mmmmm... fortunately I've had a little bit of experience with being laid up with broken bits, and my advice is.... YOU PUSSY !! Get off your bum on your crutches out into your shed and start tinkering, LOL.
The only thing I couldn't do when I did my ankle (besides drive the truck, being a manual ) was carry my freshly made cup of coffee from the kitchen to the lounge, untill I got sick of having to stand in the middle of the kitchen drinking it and devised a way of pouring said coffee into a sealed tuppaware container, sticking it into one pocket, bickies into the other and taking them into the lounge or shed that way :-))
Not sure if I answered your email or not but in case I didn't, concrats on the new addition, looks just like you when you climb out of the cruiser, lol.

Cheers
Pezza

You have a 3 year old , teach them how to play chess !!
