My prayers are for you and your family and for the family of the couple who were killed. The pictures were amazing and very helpful to see the Z's structural integrity. You and your family are very fortunate.

May you have a speedy recovery. Thank God you were not knocked unconsious from the impact and were able to get out. RIP to the other two.

Thanks for the get well wishes. I should be going into surgery something today, and hopefully soon. I'm going to ask the ortho doc if I can copies of the before and after x-rays and get 'em posted up here.

Sundown! Why are you up so early! Take some pain meds and go back to sleep!

My sleep pattern has been so screwed up since the accident, it's ridiculous. I can only comfortably sleep on my side at home, and with my right leg in this temporary splint, I've got to stay on my back. It doesn't mater if I raise my head, lower my feet, raise my fett, lower my head, or any combination, I just can't get comfortable. I quick dose of dilaudid gets me about an hour of sleep, but that's it.

Still waiting on the final surgery today for all my titanium parts to get installed. I'm sure they were special order and FedEx is the delay. Thats the way it always is the cars.

Frightening photos :(

Sorry to see this but glad you made it out of your car OK.

I hope you are physically and mentally 100% again V soon.

As soon as they quit giving me these damn drugs, I'll be 100% ready again. I see this kind of stuff every day at my job, so I probably have a slight advantage on the mental aspect of dealing with it.

The physical part's going to be a bitch, though.

Every time I read threads like this one, I'm glad I have a relatively safe sports car.

Makes you almost glad the extra few hundred pounds on the Z actually help save lives. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't recall any fatal 370Z accidents heard about on this forum.
