So I.....

Sorry to hear about the accident. The injuries suck, but having a pickup truck sitting in your lap could have resulted in a lot worse! Glad to hear that you made it through - get the rest you need and resist the temptation to do more than you should before the doctors tell you it's OK! Keep us posted on your recovery!

Wow, so sorry to hear about the accident man... Keep up the fight and get better real soon.

As for the replacement car, it might be tough for under $10k, but I'd look for a used Jetta or Passat TDI (diesel). Comfort and luxury on the well loaded ones are comparable (in my opinion) to much more expensive vehicles and fuel mileage and reliability are excellent. Even with the soaring fuel prices these days, diesel is still the more economical option, and if they go much higher, biodiesel will be an even better option (last I checked it retailed for $3.25 - 3.50 /gal).

Hope you're healing well! Is no news good news in this situation? It's been too long since we heard from you!

......Thanks to all that wished me well.....

Untill recently I had my fiance type for me.

I have had numerous MRI's, catscan and all the such over the past two weeks.
Thus far the verdict now is I have seven consecutive Cspine vertebrae in a combination of fractured/dislodged/rubbing the one above and below and more. A cleared MCL havent gotten word on the ACL and other ligaments. Knee cap is under alot of pain so I had a more specific x-ray of it as well. I sprained my hips and multiple ribs, jammed 6 ribs, strained my sternum and sprained my right ankle. So I have a bad left knee and bad right ankle, walking is fun but I have been out and about since then (home depot) to be exact. I have aggravated alot of pre-existing problems too from when I busted off my humorous snowboarding..... I have also had numerous test run on my organs to make sure they are performing. Thus far I have serious signs of liver damage and such....

I have been to work/school since March 16th and will hopefully return on April 7th but have not been yet cleared to drive.

As for the car.....Not sure what has been said yet. But we got enough out of her car to pay it off and use $1,000 of it to put towards a honeymoon (cruise to Bahamas) and $2,000 as a down payment on a 2002 Explorer .
