    Yikes! I wonder what difference it would have made if he were in the VX when it happened, although I'd have hated to see that happen to the VX. I am very glad to hear he's still with us! You both will be in our thoughts and prayers.

    I understand how it is to try to take care of someone who just can't stand to sit still. :-) My Dad was in a bad way some time ago and we had to make him take it easy, and it's torture for someone who is just always doing something. I don't know if Andy is going to need it or not, but the good thing is that folks like him and my Dad are the kind of people who do really well if they have to undergo physical therapy because they are relentless where other people would just give up and never get back to how they were before. My Dad would have been in a wheelchair for the rest of his life but he'd try to walk around when no one said he should, and it hurt a lot and he'd fall down, but that's how he got his legs back. Stubborness can be good too. :-)

    Anyway, best wishes and I hope he has a speedy recovery!

    Hey BumbleV-X

    This is Kahuna down in San Diego. My heart goes out to you. I once saw Sheri (wife) in a car accident and I think you have the worst of it. Luckly Andy doesn't remember but you have go through the roller coaster ride on emotions. From the sound of your post you seem to be doing Okay. Give Andy our best and GodSpeed on the recovery!!!

    You're in my prayers too. Don't know Swordy but have seen photos and appreciate many of the same things he does. Slow and steady and listen to the docs. Pain medicaion is a wonderful thing.

    I hope Swordy makes a quick and complete recovery; and hopefully, this site will ease his downtime when he's feeling well enough to play on the 'puter!

    Y'all will definitely be in our thoughts for a speedy recovery without complications. I lost an aunt and cousin years ago to exactly the same kind of accident. He's truly fortunate and we'll look forward to seeing his celebrations of life again soon!

    Yep, accidents are no fun and the downtime involved with them is equally as painful. I hope you can cope with having the big lug at home watching Oprah and eating sandwich after sandwich. Tell him not to get used to it.

    Here's to a speedy recovery.

    Holy Bat *****, Batman

    Wow, I am amazed that anyone could survive the destruction that hit that Maxima.
    Swordy, hope that your recovery is going well and that you will not be down and out for too long. Glad to hear that you are not too seriously injured. Be careful of the concussion though, there can be late signs of other problems. You will be in my families prayers.
