I'm off work at the moment, and will be for about the next week or so. The reason that I'm off is that I've had a hernia repair operation :shock: , which so I'm informed is the most common invasive operation carried out. Now for me, this doesn't really pose too much of a problem, as I'm not self employed anymore, nor does my day job require me to lift anything heavier than my finger. But as a word of warning perhaps to those of you who do this stuff for a living, it'll be at least 6 weeks before I can lift anything remotely heavy again, for many self employed people, I know that 6 weeks without any money coming in could be a serious pain (pardon the pun). Incidentally, one of my mates told me that laughter is the best medicine, well not after a bl**dy hernia op it's not I can tell you!!
 
Most self employed have this fear at the back of their minds, it's always a worry.

My son fell over, caught his thumb broke it in 2 places, was told to have at least 6 weeks off. He was back at work within 5 days expensive divorce, he just couldn't afford time off.

He is now realising the truth to the old saying "stands out like a sore thumb".
