...tempoary (I hope) brain damage. Or pain meds. Maybe both,.
Got run into by a semi Friday and catapulted into a guardrail and bridge at 65mph. Totalled the car, but luckily I'm alive to complain about neck pain, black specks in front of eyes and pain meds making me sleepy.
I can also attest that Dodge Caliber is one tough/strong/crash proof smallish car. It's stronger than it looks.
While you are in a drug and/or pain induced nirvana come over to WC and let rip at everyone!
You'll feel right at home...
After the eye exam today, and arguing with Sprint for an hour and half, I may just take you up on your offer! ;-)
dumb enough to admit this to the state patrolman that arrived on the scene). My little Honda was thrown into the ditch, flipped over at speed. I was thrown around in the compartment and suffered a very bad back injury which took several years (okay, five or six) to mend with lots of exercise, chiropractic, and care.
Take it easy, be glad you survived and GOOD luck in your recovery.
Work on getting abdominal muscles in top shape: they're key in lower back strength.
Also: don't listen to "specialists" telling you about surgery: lower back surgery is usually not necessary and doesn't do a damn thing. I was told by two leading neurologists that I needed fusion. They were full of shit. I'm fine today.
For luck there are people standing to what they have done.
Although the guard rail didn't do the car or my neck/head any good, it DID prevent me from being propelled across the median into oncoming traffic - which might have killed or maimed me and several other people besides.
Glad to hear you finally recovered, back injuries can be a real bear, and so slow to heal. The trucker who hit me tried to claim he hadn't hit anything, although he allowed that he might have crowded me and I "panicked and lost control". HAH! Bastard never looked or signalled, I was almost up to the cab passing him. Luckily, I have a witness who also gave a report to the sheriff's deputies.
Thankfully, my back is OK, just bruised disc in my neck and wrenched muscles. I am very wary of any sort of back surgery, thanks for the warning. You are right about the exercises, they're a good idea anyway.
The main issues are the, bleeding, floaters and flashes in my eyes, as apparently the retina, which looks OK now, can tear some time after the initial accident. :-( At the very least, it looks like I will be looking at floaters...forever. I go back to eye specialist in a month for re-check, unless something bad happens in between.
At least I am alive to see spots and complain.

That donīt make you scratch?
I lost something in the translation there.
*My* trucker insisted at first he had hit nothing - despiste the big blue dent in his trainer and the fact he saw a blue car behind him careen into a bridge.
Tin wrote that the driver said it was his fault, and that was not dumb BUT honest!
with little pain (besides the pain these web pages inflict)
thanks

Just feelin' lucky to be alive. Going to the eye doctor tomorrow about the specks and flashes. Hoping the numbness and neck pain is temporary. ER doc gave me pretty good meds.
My typing, never the best in good times, has not improved with the specks and the flashes. But I now have the perect excuse for darn near everything I mess up! At least for awhile.
These things happen so quickly, could've been much, much worse, and luckily the accident wasn't my fault. I drive 35k miles a year. So many people have their lives totally upended by auto accidents. Not many drivers come out the better in a tangle with a semi/trailer. That truck swatted the Dodge into to guardrail and bridge like it was a litle fly.
This gives me the perfect excuse to take tomorrow off and watch the inauguration from the couch.
These forums arfe seldom painful, thank goodness.
In Michigan it has been down to 10 below zero with tons of snow and there is glare ice on the roads. Really bad driving conditions to say the least.
Just curious
thanks
Phil
in Michigan I have seen accidents left and right (literally) everywhere I drive for the last 3 weeks...
thanks
Phil
Pavement was perfectly dry and clear as we've only had flurries, and it was bright and sunny.The driver of the 18 wheeler just didn't look. Didn't signal either. I saw him coming over and honked and braked (couldn't go onto shoulder because there was a guard rail on my left).
Could've been much worse. Coulda been killed or maimed.
Edits: 01/20/09
..."maimed" was the word that came to mind as I was shaking by the side of the road in my ruined rental car.
The thought "I might have been disabled" was not what popped into my head. ;-)
I love 'maimed' - so much better than 'injured', 'disfigured' or 'disabled'.
Always associate it with being attacked by a wild animal myself, but drivers of 18 wheelers sometimes fall into that category. :0)

Chris redmond.
"Coulda been likked or maimed. "
And so soon after he "roger" post...
