Totaled the Z today

Fire · 02-22-2011, 06:20 PM

Hey man good to see you are doing well. Just like an RN to joke about an injury like that. Yes I'm a RN and EMT so know where you are coming from. You might want the tatoo onyour shin as nobody but the OR people will see one on your tibia. Sorry to hear about the others in the truck. Just remember it wasn't your fault. Stay strong and keep up the fight.

Glad you're patched up and home. Do they just leave the fibula to remodel without realigning and plating?

Yeah, you got me on that one. The tat would be on the shin, not the bone, but you knew where I was talking about. Where the accident was is directly on my normal route to and from work every day, so we drove over it on the way home today. Unbelievable the skid marks from the truck. He managed to leave skid marks 2 lanes of north-bound traffic, and a turning land before he hit me. The fire destroyed part of the black-top road, too. I just hope I don't end up with jacked up dreams now.

Oh trust me you'll have jacked up dreams for awhile.
and once you start driving that stretch of road again youll just be looking around everywhere driving like a sissy and paranoid. its hard to overcome but sooner or later you come to peace with it.

We live about 5 miles outside the city limits and this was on the only road going into town from my house. So, I'll have a daily reminder. Just great.

Mine was pulling out of my neighborhood, no other way out.
Its been over six months and every time I stop at the sign where the accident happened I still get that awful feeling and get all paranoid.

I grew up in Orange and graduated from WO-S in 90. Shoot me a PM if you think we might know each other.
