    So I.....

    First do not have much energy to type much....and it is hard to concentrate on the computer screen...
    Beacuase.

    I totaled my fiance's Mustang this past Sunday in a wreck that resulted in me as the only passenger (driver) being hit on the highway by someone in a truck that pulled out in front of me. The nose of the stang went under the bed of this truck straight to the rear axle and took the axle with it. The axle completely fell off the truck and the bed laid on the highway.

    To make things short since I am struggling to do this even with the pain meds.
    I have thus far.
    Fractured my spine C5 near the neck.
    Sprained my neck, hip, right knee and ankle
    Torn my MCL in left knee
    Dislocated my right shoulder (I broke my left humorous off in 2002 snowboaring)
    Dislocated my right clavicle
    Jammed multiple ribs
    Multiple contusions mainly internal around the ribs, spleen, hip, shoulders
    Trauma to my liver, gallbladder, spleen (the extent will be tested once again tomorrow at a specialist)

    They say I am lucky to be alive, lucky to be walking (C6 controls paralyasis and breathing, what C.Reevs broke), and that I am dealing with the pain well.

    I am in a neck brace and walk with a limp....

    Thats a case of the suck. Been there, done that. I know how you feel.

    A good lawyer can at least get the legal stuff off of your plate and off your mind. Let him worry about the mess and you worry about getting healed up. Good luck.

    HOLY COW!! I was stunned to read about what happened, but I'm glad that you're still with us. Take it easy and make sure to do everything that the physical therapists say so you'll heal well.

    Glad to hear you're still with us. I know you're in pain, but you'll get past it. I was riding a sportbike 5 years ago, and lost an argument with a groundhog. I've got a fair amount of metal holding me together, but I healed up faster than I thought I would, and you will, too. Just try to let the drugs do their work..............
