Masterton accident victim battling ACC for bladder stone removal
Masterton welder Aiden Sayer is remarkably chipper for a man who nearly died in a workplace accident.
Sayer was almost killed earlier this year when a steel trailer deck he was working on tipped over and hit him in the head.
He has spent seven months getting battling back to fitness but is now facing ongoing issues with bladder stones. His surgeon believes the stones are a direct result of having a catheter after surgery.
ACC’s said it was "not medically possible" for the bladder stone to be caused by the catheter and its removal would not be covered by ACC.
The district health board said it would be months before the operation could be done in the public system. Paying for it privately would cost $24,000.

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!

Has anybody got a concrete or water filled hand roller that they don't need anymore. I'm putting down a new lawn and need it to compact the dirt down.
