after 25 years in the saddle as an owner driver,481800 of golden virginia,s finest cigs me heart said ive had enough.lucky for me i took an income protection plan out in 1986 thank god otherwise my family would be now living with me old man.i would have lost the lot .in a industry that can make your blood boil you need health insurance,and protect all your bank loans
Wise words mudflap, I’m sorry to hear about your woes. 
How is your health now? Have the docs given you a time scale to get back in the saddle?
Good luck to you and your family and welcome to Tnet. 
Your spot on with that mudflap.
No-one ever thinks its going to happen to them, i know i didn`t!
I hope you recover ok.
thanks for the welcome ladytrucker
as for me took me 9 months to get over the attack usual 3 months passed the treadmill 12min test and back to work lasted 6 weeks back in hospital 2 operations and out .time to sell the horse ! swapped me dashboard for desk
ok now
I’ve gotta agree, too - and will add that it’s best to do it whilst you’re fit! I can’t get income protection, mortgage protection or life insurance any more, because I left it too late. And I’m only 32.
i had 2 loans protected this ment every month my doctor had to fill 2 forms in to say i was unfit to work.here we go off to the docs forms in hand doctor fills forms ticks 4 boxes and signs his name average speed 7 secs,2 forms 14 secs cost £32 !!!
