    Holy cow! I sure am glad you are okay. And I hope your ribs are healing good, I had a fractured rib from falling off a galloping horse once, not fun at all, it can hurt badly.

    I'm so sorry to hear that you had an accident! I'm glad to hear that you are ok though. Take it easy!

    Sorry doesn't seem good enough. I broke three front ribs and two back ones after my horse took a flip and fell on top of me. Believe me, the doctor tells you that you have to cough so you don't get pneumonia. So every day you practice this by holding your ribs and tears rolling down your cheeks. When you have to get up to go potty, you would rather just pee the bed...lol...
    It took 6 mos for me to get permission to ride again and I was still hurting.
    So I hope you will mend fast and as painfree as possible, you sure have my sympathy, just glad it wasn't worse. Let's hope the idiot who ran the light got what he deserved.

    Oh David, that is just awful! Thank GOD you weren't hurt worse than you were! Broken ribs and a collapsed lung were nothing to take lightly! Please do take it easy and don't overdo!!! I'm glad your family is helping you out!

    ((((gentle hugs))))

    David, I do hope you heal soon. Did your doc say to get extra calcium/magnesium? (I'm not sure that includes gallons of ice cream but what the heck!)

    But seriously - I've heard that is supposed to help.

    Is the other driver being charged? Will his insurance help you get another car?

    GENTLE hugs!

    Sorry to hear this, David!! Broken ribs are certainly no picnic. It's very painful. I've had several broken ribs over the years. I know how much you loved your Cobalt too. This just plain stinks Take it easy. Maybe now you can spend more time on PT while recovering.


    I've been Boo'd...
    Thanks Barry!

    Be gentle with those [[[[HUGS]]]]! His insurance will pay for a brand-new Cobalt! At this point I'll try anything! Ice cream sounds good right now!

    Just a suggestion..........

    A little Ice cream/vicodin therapy?

    Cracked ribs a few years ago, DAMN those hurt.

    LH, where's Orc's remote? I can use his services right now! Getting up to go to the bathroom is now a major undertaking!

    Sounds like you have more than a new car coming to you, not to sound crass but don't sign any settlement they offer until you make sure you can work and are okay.

    my broters are working on the insurance end of this. They'll make sure I don't sign anything until they approve it.
