Good News!

Thank you so much everyone for your well wishes. It seems the old guy is a lucky bastard. He is out of ICU and will recover. He fell asleep at the wheel, hit gravel and over corrected sending him straight into the path of an 18 wheeler. He was hit driver's side of his box on wheels (aka a fire fly). They had him intubated for 48 hours because he had some trauma to his lungs, 7 broken ribs and a few fractures in his back. No head trauma and no internal bleeding. Apparently he is made of steel. And although he is in a world of pain at the moment, we are all glad to see him sitting up and breathing on his own. I'll be back soon.

Be well and thank you again,
Kat

Almost happened to me once, when I fell asleep. I woke up headed straight into the concrete foundation of an overpass.

Glad he's lucky, too.

Fuckin Hell!! "he had some trauma to his lungs, 7 broken ribs and a few fractures in his back." All he needs is a bullet to the kneecaps and will have all the most painful injuries.

Your man is from tough stock.

I'm getting kind of bored hangin out in this joint. Anyone have any gin?

Verdant Earl said...

A bottle of Hendrick's and a half bottle of Bombay Sapphire.

That should last us a day or two, eh?

badgerdaddy said...

Bollocks, bet I missed the gin.

Probably for the best.

Great WV. Am I wasting it though? mtgkr

elizabeth said...

badgerdaddy said...

Yeah, it's all a bit 'one note'. I mean, is she on Prozac? Is it all such good bloody news??
